Education: BA, Latin, Colgate University; Semester at Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome

What I Love About My Job: I am continuously learning about various industries and meeting new people. I have the opportunity to brainstorm about strategy with clients and co-workers and create structure and processes. Each day is different and brings new challenges and deadlines, so it’s a lot of fun!

About Me: Before starting full time at The Guild Associates in 1994, I was a nanny in Paris and in Rome, and worked as a temporary employee for a semester. I also was an administrative assistant at the Department of Public Health on a stop smoking project, where I organized a couple of conferences and wrote the handbook on how to make an office go smoke free. I was an intern at an association management company in Chicago. I was lucky to be trained in association management by my dad, Richard Guild.

Professional development: CAE (Certified Association Executive); IOM graduate recognition (Institute of Organizational Management); member of ASAE.

Outside of Work: I like to spend time with my family, travel, play golf, read and take long walks with our dog Finn.
