Developed and executed detailed event agendas, logistics plans for travel, and event content that met the needs of a vast array of business groups, including investors, customers, educators, business partners, and government officials such as former Vice President of the United States (VPOTUS) Mike Pence during his 2017 U.S. Space Force facility tour in Mojave, CA.

Planned and executed The Spaceship Company's rebrand, taking the $750,000 project from conception to reality within six months. This project required developing and implementing new company values, purpose, and visual identity. These branding assets were necessary to create an engaging, concise, and memorable tone of voice and visual identity across the company's social media, website, intranet, vehicle livery, interior and exterior facility branding, internal apparel, printed marketing materials, and talent acquisition materials.
Performed customer and market research for Business Development's Hypersonic Private Jet project, including but not limited to market segmentation, competitor analysis, sales forecasts, and regulatory restrictions to the market and how they impact customer experience.
