Each day this week, we will highlight some of our EOs:

?? Spotlight on Alycia Kasperitis from Corpus Christi, TX! ??

Meet Alycia, a dynamic professional with a passion for both creativity and business. She holds a Bachelor's in Sports, Entertainment, and Event Management (with a minor in Communications) and an MBA with a focus on Non-profits from Johnson & Wales University. Alycia thrives in her diverse role, balancing marketing and event creativity with the more business-focused aspects of her work.

A proud Texan, Taylor earned her Bachelor's from Texas A&M (Whoop!) and went on to complete her grad studies at UT's LBJ School of Public Policy. She’s a Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) and Certified Association Executive (CAE) with a Master of Public Affairs.

Taylor is a self-proclaimed "collector of hobbies"—if it's crafty, she's probably tried it! Her favorite snacks? Wheat Thins and Diet Coke. She's passionate about seeing ideas come to life and believes in consistent engagement and true innovation.

When she’s not working on new projects or engaging with the community, Taylor enjoys spending time with her kitty, Kitty Big Foot. She’s also an avid treasure hunter, re-upholstering and refurbishing finds from estate sales.

Thanks, Taylor, for all the creativity and dedication you bring! ????
