Carole Gilfedder attended
the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. At FIT, she studied both the creative arts, receiving her AAS Degree,
and the business sciences, receiving her BS Degree in Marketing. After graduating from FIT with honors, she accepted an internship
with an international media, trade and advertising firm in their barter division in London, England.

her career in publishing. She has worked on both the consumer and trade sides of magazine publishing; primarily in advertising
and marketing at various titles.
Her most recent position as Promotion and

her responsibilities included: developing and overseeing promotion budgets, facilitating events, managing event planners and
staff, and planning and executing corporate events & promotions on all levels (small and intimate to large and upscale).
In addition to her career, Carole has been planning private parties,
from intimate dinners for friends and family to elaborate themed corporate affairs for years.
