Representing three generations of hospitality professionals, Taren was shown at an early age to not just meet the bar, but to set a new standard. This philosophy gives her the unique ability to provide quality service and superior execution to every event. She has dedicated over 20 years of experience and leadership to the events arena to include elected board positions in leading industry organizations and tenures with Hilton, Aramark, and Encore (PSAV). Currently, with Magnolia Bluebird, Taren heads their Corporate Experiential Events Division. Her understanding of the in’s and out’s of the hotel and hospitality industry, a solid working knowledge of the on and off-premise food and beverage and rental industries, and the skillset Taren honed for half a decade with PSAV (the world’s largest audiovisual brand) makes her a triple threat for our clients. She deals in the languages of technology, people, and the creative arts. A unique and valuable proposition for our live, virtual, and hybrid events clients. Taren serves the community as an adjunct professor for Prince George's Community College, sits on the National Board of Directors with the National Coalition of Black Meeting Planners, and was honored with the inaugural Ethan “Tony” Loney Award (the first African-American student and retired VP of Diversity/Compliance at NBC Universal) by her high school alma mater, St. Marks Boarding School, Southborough MA for her service to its DEI initiatives.
