What People Are Saying

Not only is she a person that would take the shirt off of her back to help anyone, but she is also the most dependable person that I have had the opportunity to work with. When we had deadlines, she would kindly reach out to make sure we stayed on task to get marketing out in time for newsletters and events. Her strength is people, projects, and marketing.

Darlene assisted with social media efforts for our start-up company, and the creativity and ability to use minimal resources to maximum effect was always exactly what we needed, just when we needed it. She does what she says she will, complete to the last detail, with the creativity to turn something small into something extraordinary.

Event Management & Coordination

As an events professional and project manager, Darlene is outstanding at what she does for clients. The events she assisted me with were two huge Career Fairs each year, with anywhere from 175 to 360 companies. Darlene and her company’s response to any last-minute changes was expedient and always with a smile. She helped us problem solve and always delivered quality show/event materials and furniture.

Darlene and I have worked together for 7 years. Darlene has amazing attention to detail and responsiveness to our needs. I propose an idea, and she runs with it and makes it happen. She quickly solves problems and follows up. She has helped me grow our vendor area exponentially, from single-digit booths to over 100 booths. I know that nothing will fall through the cracks working with her!
