Carey Higgins

Regional Program Finance Manager

Carey Higgins is a Regional Program Finance Manager with our Arizona team, based in beautiful Tucson! Her detailed approach, sincere disposition and passion not only for the events world, but also for her beloved Sonoran desert, all tie together to make her a wonderful resource for her clients and their guests. A former teacher, Carey took her passion for creative programming and planning and repurposed it for the events industry, focusing on building unique destination experiences in the place she calls home. In the spirit of celebration, Carey's favorite event she's delivered was the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) theme, where a percussion quartet led guests in a procession across the resort, fully adorned in skull masks and elaborate hats, while stilt walkers and puppeteers enhanced the festivities and guests learned what the day of the dead could teach us all about life.  However, her cultural passions expand beyond Mexico, as this native-born Tucsonan traveled abroad and lived a year in Tokyo, Japan -  one of the most exciting cities in the world. Her love for the desert brought her home and this Wildcat from the University of Arizona is here to stay and looks forward to showcasing her beautiful region for your next group gathering in Tucson.
