Culinary

For six years, I produced Taste of the Nation, No Kid Hungry's signature culinary event series in cities across the country. These large-scale (and logistically complex!) tasting events — ranging from 500 to 1,500 guests — united local culinary communities around a shared mission and collectively raised millions of dollars to end childhood hunger.

The series also served as a powerful national sponsorship platform for our corporate partnerships team, securing six- and seven-figure commitments from partners including American Express, Citi, Food Network, Sysco, and Brown-Forman.

My events regularly surpassed revenue goals by 5–20%, while maintaining strong chef relationships and a premium guest experience.
