About Me:
I own Pulse Staging and Events in San Diego, CA. We travel the world spreading the concept of sustainable AV at all the events we service. We like to remind our clients that sustainability isn't some catchy fad that is separate from our normal service, but integrated into every aspect of what we do.
In 2007 I wrote the guidelines for Sustainability in the Rental and Staging Industry. I am nominated for Woman of the Year in AV and write a bi-monthly column on Green AV for ProAV Magazine.
I also love to speak! I am a trained speaker by MPI on the subject of Corporate Social Responsibility and have also presented on Green AV and green business for international organizations.
What can I say? I love what I do!
I am a member of:
MPI, GMIC, NAWBO, NetImpact, US Green Building Council.
