2. Thank you for taking the time to review my resume. Before I blow you away with my extensive experience,
I’d love to tell you a bit about myself. I am kind, caring, extroverted-introvert, confident, humble, helpful,
patient, respectuful, generous, creative, ambitious, cheerful, eco-conscious, and driven. I love classic
design styles, retro fashion, flowers of all types, young adult dystopian novels, animated feature films and
the occasional documentary. I am also a fiercely competitive Mario Kart player.
I’ve spent the majority of my professional career in the event field, and I am one of the lucky ones who
can say they have been able to make a career doing what they love. Every day I have had the pleasure
and honor of working with individuals celebrating bringing people together. Whether it be for a wedding,
luncheon, festival, or special event, the joys of life are best celebrated together, and that’s what I get to
do. Owning my event coordination company, Lucky You Productions, gave me the opportunity to
experience many of St. Louis’ best venues and staff, allowing me to see the diversity and beauty of Saint
Louis. Speaking with clients and hearing/seeing their reviews a er each event, I truly believe I am very
good at what I do. My organizational skills and a ention to detail help propel each event to run smoothly,
and my communication skills help to convey comfort and ease with staff and vendors. Coordinating and
managing over 500 events in my career has given me the opportunity to see just about everything,
including family crises, health scares, weather unpredictability, and vendor mishaps. My calm demeanor
and quick thinking has helped to ensure that none of this has led to disaster, and each guest leaves,
having the best possible experience.
That’s me ina li le nutshell. Now when should we chat?
All the best,
Amanda Chasnoff
