Noelle Christie
Managing Partner
“I’m a proud mom to two amazing daughters and a lifelong animal lover. I foster with Southwest Florida German Shepherd Rescue and share my home with two German Shepherds, three cats and two birds—there’s never a dull moment at my place! I thrive on connecting with people, love meeting new clients, and always aim to bring positivity and warmth to everything I do.
Whether it’s helping a rescue dog find a forever home or working with someone new, I’m all about building meaningful relationships.”

Katie Adams
Managing Partner
“I am proud to be one of the founding partners of GlobalWorks Events, a business born from a deep passion for creating unforgettable experiences. Alongside my amazing business partner Noelle Christie, I have turned my passion for event planning into a thriving company that specializes in producing extraordinary events in unique destinations.
With a passion for bringing creative visions to life, I thrive on crafting unique events that reflect each client’s individual style and story. Driven by a love of travel and admiration of the performing arts, I love exploring new destinations and gathering inspiration from diverse cultures and landscapes.
I cherish quality time with my husband and two children, who keep me grounded and motivated, testing out new recipes and taking long walks to recharge. It’s all about making memories – whether it’s through the events we create or the moments we share with friends and family.”

Danielle Cross
Sr. Sales & Event Operations
“I’m fueled by a love for bringing people together and creating experiences that spark joy.
From citywide activations to Fortune 500 conferences, I come alive in the creative process—turning fresh ideas into seamless experiences through thoughtful planning, collaboration, and an operational eye.
Outside of work, you’ll find me soaking up the Florida sun, recharging in cozy sweats, enjoying happy hour with loved ones, or finding inspiration through journaling and exploring my community.”

Leah Correll
Senior Event Manager
“Family first, always! A proud Michigander who loves nothing more than heading back home for cozy snuggles with loved ones. When I’m not soaking up the warm, sunset views from my favorite local beach in Southwest Florida, you’ll find me enjoying quality time with family, or jamming out to some Country or Jazz!
I believe everyone deserves to have a good time! Whether it’s organizing family parties that bring everyone together or crafting unforgettable experiences for corporate groups, I truly strive to create moments that make people smile! (I’m clearly a sucker for explanation points!)”

Scott Lockhart
Director of Strategic Partnerships
“I’ve always loved entertaining, so becoming an event planner was a natural fit! My favorite part of the job is seeing clients’ excitement when their vision exceeds expectations.
I love to travel and have lived in multiple states—even Belfast, Northern Ireland—giving me the chance to explore Europe. I also love cooking (and eating!), balancing it with daily workouts and hiking. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, reading, and spending time with my dog, Lily, and my cat, Benson!”

Lynn Pavony
Vice President Sales & Marketing
“With a wanderlust and a passion for travel, I thrive on unique experiences and creating moments that surprise and delight. Whether it’s hosting an unforgettable party or helping our clients design events that leave a lasting impression, bringing people together in meaningful ways truly feeds my soul.
When I’m not crafting memorable experiences, you’ll find me playing my guitar, experimenting in the kitchen, or determinedly keeping my orchids alive—because every great adventure, big or small, deserves a little nurturing!”

Kate Turturro
Event Coordinator
“Passionate about creating unforgettable experiences, I thrive on bringing visions to life and exceeding client expectations. With a love for the details and a flair for the extraordinary, I ensure every event is seamless, stunning, and stress-free. When I’m not crafting magical moments, you can find me unwinding with yoga, bringing my artistic visions to life, whipping up delicious meals, or soaking up the sun at the beach. Let’s make your next event truly spectacular!”

Kristyn Lyons
Event Coordinator
Growing up in SWFL, I have developed a love for sunshine and saltwater. When I’m not planning the perfect event, you can find me on a boat fishing in the 10,000 islands, relaxing at home with my dog, or cheering on my favorite sports teams. Whether it’s planning events or unwinding in my free time, I bring creativity and enthusiasm to everything I do.”

Sydney Zdanowski
Event Coordinator

Paul Raphel
Director of Operations
“After spending most of my career in media, working on shows hosted by broadcasting legend Larry King and the iconic actor William Shatner (yes, I once shared a tomahawk steak with Captain Kirk himself), I’m excited to channel my experience into the destination management and event planning industry.
My goal is to drive operations forward, elevate our company’s success, and contribute to its ongoing growth.”
Outside of work, you can find me playing golf, exploring new restaurants around Southwest Florida, or attempting to play pickleball without getting injured.

Frankie Hague
Sales & Event’s Manager
As an Event Sales Manager, I pride myself in being a confident seller and a true people person who thrives on making every event a seamless and unforgettable experience. When I am not coordinating the perfect event, you can find me soaking up the sun or enjoying the local sights and restaurants.”

Kristen Tiffan
Assistant Director of Event Operations
“With sharp attention to details, logistics coordination, organization, building relationships, seeing progression from start to finish and making people smile – glad to be thriving in a career within the events industry to enhance these skills!
Always looking for ways to improve, learn, evolve and enjoy all moments both personally and professionally.
Some loves I have are yoga, walking, fast cars, boating, jet skiing, snowmobiling or even flying through the air during trapeze acts. Acts of movement boost my inner being!”

The consensus all around seems to be this is probably one of the best executed programs for this client to date! Thank you again and Kudos to the entire team. Of course, it goes without saying that none of this would be possible without Danielle Cross. She truly is one of a kind and an incredible asset to have.
