Here's what I do:
Team Casino provides high-quality casino-style gaming, Texas Hold 'em Tournaments, Bingo & other interactive offerings, including big screen video games, Night at the Derby events (mint juleps optional), DJ services & arcade games.
No matter what kind of event you 're having, Team Casino is dedicated to great entertainment & service. Our dealers really are the best at making sure you and your guests are having a great time, and actually enjoy what they do, which is so important to the guest experience!
Each of our clients works with one experienced planner from start to finish, so you won 't get lost in the file cabinet or desk shuffle. We care about each event, no matter how small or large, and our planners go above and beyond to make sure your event is a success!
I like to help:
Non-profit organizations that host (or would like to host) Casino or Hold 'em Fundraisers, companies looking to provide employee or client appreciation & holiday parties, and anyone looking to celebrate a birthday, graduation, anniversary or any other achievement!
Here's what I like to do:
First of all, I get to help non-profits support their cause. That in itself is a great reason to do what I do!
Besides that, I 'm in the business of making sure people have a great time with their friends and co-workers, and help people interact with each other on a different level than they would at work alone.
My position also allows me to enjoy my love for event planning, I get to allow my inner boss-lady out without being everyone 's crazy boss, and when you get down to it, who doesn 't want to be a "Professional Partier" for a living?!

My professional background:
I graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in Sociology. I planned most of the social gatherings (official and unofficial) for the 250-member Oregon Marching Band during my time there, along with some of the fundraising events as well. After college I landed a job with a small advisory firm as an administrative assistant, and gathered an exceptional amount of reorganizational skills as they reinvented my position & duties every 2 months or so. I gave up that position to work at Team Casino! After working at the founding office in Eugene planning fundraisers for a year, I was promoted to run our brand-new Portland branch in 2008. I love Portland, and hope to be planning casino parties here for many years to come.

"I would like to personally thank you for exceeding every expectation I had. Your staff was amazing at the party. Amazing. Thank you to your entire team for making our employee party an enjoyable success." Melinda Berry – The Benson Hotel
Something You Probably Didn't Know About Me:
I would love to be a professional club DJ. I really enjoy dancing and making other people dance. I 'd love to learn how to digitally mix music at a really high level.
I also ride an ATV, though I 'm not a dirt rider. The sand hurts a lot less when you land in it. =) During the summer I 'm always looking for an open weekend to head to the coast with my riding buddy, though I can always use more riding buddies. =)
