About

owner/manager

Kristen Eaton

I’m an event and project manager specializing in complex gatherings that foster community, conversation, and collaboration. My work focuses on building the systems, relationships, and logistics that allow these events to run smoothly.

I’ve helped launch and sustain multi-year and large-scale programs, including the first Vets Town Hall in Vermont, which grew into a nonprofit supporting events both statewide and nationally. I’ve worked as the Teacher Host/Coordinator for the International Herb Symposium, supported fundraising and programming for Northern Vermont University’s Veterans Summit, and managed a high-volume schedule of author events for a Vermont-owned group of bookstores. I also have professional experience in stage management and on-the-ground event coordination.

Earlier in my career, while working as a freelance writer, my work was published in the Broad Street Review, Stage Directions, Seven Days, and other outlets. I majored in Character Studies (storytelling and character development, with a background in psychology) at Cornell University, as part of Cornell’s College Scholar Program. I’ve lived and worked in Galway, Ireland; MDI, Maine; and Philadelphia; and have since returned home to Vermont. I am a tea enthusiast, a student of herbalism, a card-carrying member of the Letter Writers Alliance, and an out of practice contact juggler.

I believe deeply in the importance of shared experiences, and I love putting my organizational skills to work to create connections, foster conversation, and enhance the cultural life of my community.
