Caitlin Pfleger
Director of Artist Relations
Summary
Hello! I'm Caitlin and for the past 10 years I've been planning and running events. I've held multiple positions in one company for the past 10 years including: customer service/client relations, production planning, and inventory management. I pride myself in being a hard worker, punctual, understanding, and friendly. Throughout my experiences, I've become a very efficient and organized multitasker. I have a Bachelors degree from DePaul University in Hospitality Management with a concentration in lodging management, although I've worked in the events industry recently. Before working at my current place of employment, I've held many positions in the service industry including food, catering, event services, and front desk agent at a hotel. I'm used to working long hours and holidays and putting in the work to get the job done. I strongly believe teamwork and being a team player is important to the success of a company.
I'd like to find a company that I can continue to grow with and utilize my skills to grow the company.
