School Story
I moved back east after my first year at the U for a summer and ended up staying for 13 years. I worked as the Director of Special Events for Faneuil Hall Marketplace, (second largest tourist attraction in the US next to Disney World) and later became the Assistant Manager of Sales and Marketing. I met my husband, Paul Dunford who had moved to Cambridge for the summer to take open enrollment at Harvard, at the time his parents were in charge of the institute program at Harvard MIT and Wellesley. We got married, and Paul transferred from the University of Utah to Bentley College, where he got a D2 tennis scholarship. After eight years at the Rouse company, I decided to branch out and do marketing and special event consulting. I worked for Starbucks, Star Market, and multiple retail developments. We relocated to Salt Lake City in 2000 and was hired to be the Flower Ceremonies Coordinator for Snowbasin and the Ice Sheet, for the Winter Olympics 2002. I continued consulting for my East Coast clients putting on concerts, fashion shows, a national ice carving competition, and the Boston Puppet Festival for several years while we raised our family. Currently, raising my children. Currently,My husband and I opened and operate The Warehouse (name brand furniture and mattresses, specializing in closeout deals) located in West Valley, and we are opening the South Jordan location in September.
