I'm Karla Chavez, an events enthusiast from the University of Nebraska Lincoln. I currently have the pleasure of serving as the Events Coordinator at Nebraska LTAP. I graduated with a degree in Hospitality, Restaurant, and Tourism, and now I'm all about crafting unforgettable experiences. Whether I'm coordinating events for work or cooking up a storm for my loved ones, I'm always up to something fun. Outside of work, you'll find me diving into crime fiction, binge-watching thrillers, or experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen."
