I've been throwing events - parties, gatherings, volunteer groups - for far longer than I was ever paid to make them happen. Bringing people together for shared experience is something that brings me joy. It just so happens I'm also pretty darned good at it. I love all of the moving parts, 'impossible' deadlines, creative 'surprise and delight' touches, fine details and most of all, seeing it all come together for a client. Whatever your goals are - to forge community, to raise funds, to have a shared experience, to learn something new, to work or play - my goal is to make sure it happens, beautifully and seamlessly.
“To be candid, I have been BLOWN AWAY by her. She is fast, on the money, and requires little oversight—the value of such a partner is incredible. I always know that when I receive communication from Abby it is because something is moving forward. She never presents me with problems to solve, she provides me solutions to choose from. I look forward to working with Abby for years to come and to supporting her efforts to impact the lives of others in all she chooses to do.

“Abby has all the skills you want in an event coordinator in spades - and a whole lot more! She is solution-oriented, creative, thoughtful, diligent, productive, flexible, fast, always willing to go the extra mile and able to manage a full load with grace and without oversight. Plus she’s incredibly personable making her a genuine pleasure to work with and just be around. Abby was an enormous asset to our team and I would run, not walk, to hire her again should the need arise. ”
“Abby is a joy to work with....she managed a highly complex and intense role as Event Coordinator in such a manner as to generate complete confidence in her ability to deliver outstanding events. She brings a sharp mind, “can do” attitude, and high level of emotional intelligence to every job she undertakes....quickly earning complete trust and confidence in her ability to execute flawlessly. Perhaps the best compliment I can give is that Abby worked to produce events that our attendees raved about—with top of class return rates—and made it seem, if not easy, then completely under control at all times. She was a delight to work with, and deeply admired by all of us who associated with her. ”
“I’m confident there are a zillion things going on behind the scenes to make these events come together and to keep it rocking that no one sees and Abby makes sure they’re all getting done without anyone noticing. ”
“I don’t know how she does it but Abby is one of the most remarkable multitaskers that I know. With effortless Grace and extraordinary focus, Abby goes above and beyond and delivers in such a seamless way you wonder how she gets it all done! I cannot recommend her more highly.”
“As I continue working with Conscious Capitalism, I am going to miss the professionalism that Abby exhibited at our events. Always calm, we navigated the event needs together and handled the many random requests that come with an event this size with a roster of presenters. It was a pleasure to work with her and she made it easy for me to do my job as TD by providing me with the information I needed and filtering out the many things she handled that did not relate to my role. I will be hoping to work with Abby on other projects in the future.”
“Abby has expertise in many areas, but where she really shines is in project flow and program mapping. She can take even the most esoteric ideas and actions create flow and make sense of it with ease. As a business partner she is thoughtful and considerate of opinions even when they differ from her own. She’s an excellent and diplomatic communicator and an asset to every project she works on whether with events or production flow. She’s no non-sense and can cut through minutiae and nonsense and get down to what really matters in an efficient and expedient manner.”
“Abby brings an energy and spirit to any project that is so positive and uplifting that it gives everyone around her a sense that anything can be accomplished. All Abby’s activities have resulted in projects well done, often times exceeding expectations. Her thoughtful observances, gentle probing and outstanding problem solving capabilities make Abby an exceptional additional to anyone’s team. No need to look any further, Abby is the key component you are searching for!”
“Abby is a talented, take charge person with a multitude of useful skills. She came to me as a volunteer, looking to help out at the Bite of Oregon. By the time the event was over, Abby had effectively taken charge of a chaotic situation and managed the Chef’s Stage efficiently and successfully. I highly recommend Abby as an amazing employee and team player.”
