Kelsea Biondolillo

I am currently a junior at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a member of the Isenberg School of Management. I am persuing degrees in both Marketing and Hospitqality & Tourism Managment.

I grew up in a very active family. We were not the family that sat at home in front of the television on weekends while the parents recuperated from their work week. Instead we were the weekend day-trippers, constantly on the move (and the road) in search of new and exciting experiences and events. Car rides became one of my favorite passtimes and it was known among my siblings and I never to ask, "Are we there yet?" I grew up being exposed to all types of events including balloon festivals, state/town fairs, craft fairs, city-wide street festivals, tradeshows, circuses, sporting events and of course a slew of trips to the zoo, aquarium etc. These family trips lead to my love of and appreciation for all things entertaining. I have a passion for entertaining others and seeing people around me enjoying themselves. I am a people pleaser that tends to put the needs of others before my own.

This passion has lead me to pursue a career in event and entertainment marketing. I hope to do this through a large company or even a smaller non-profit organization. Having been exposed to such a wide variety of events (through both work and leisure time) I have personally witnessed and experienced just how much teamwork and time is necesary to pull off a succeful event.

Hobbies??

• Running - themed races of course. (I'm a tough mudder, are you?)
• Reading
• Movies - I'm a HUGE movie fan, especially comedies (probably because there wasn't much time for movie-watching when I was younger)
