Our Team Operations Team
Brett Lauren Danuser
Operations Coordinator
Nickname: Brettness
Prior to joining SHS, I had internships with Martiz Travel and Seattle Hospitality before graduating from William Woods University in Missouri.
I am passionate about the services we provide because my job allows me to work with people from every aspect of our business - from co-workers, to event staff, to attendees. Working with great people is the best part of my job.
Outside of work you might find me planning my next road trip, exploring the city or savoring Italian cuisine.
Over a non-fat no water chi tea latte (extra hot), you might be surprised to learn that I have lived in 8 major cities including: Kansas City (MO), Huntington Beach (CA), Medford (NJ), Chicago (IL), Atlanta (GA), Greensboro (NC), Florence, Italy and now Seattle!
My favorite part about living in Seattle are the picturesque views of lakes, mountains and Puget Sound.
Korrin Hanson
Program and Event Manager
Nickname: Korndog
Prior to joining SHS, I spent six years at Sonicare in Human Resources and Marketing where I planned all sorts of all-company events: parties, fundraisers, employee competitions, product launches, and trade shows.
I am passionate about the services we provide because I thrive on the opportunity to show off our fabulous city and host a variety of diverse clients.
Outside of work you might find me, playing softball, scrapbooking, or enjoying a hot dog and a beer at a Seattle Mariner's game.
You might be surprised to learn that I am a part of an independent film company. We have two award-winning shorts and I'm currently completing my very first screenplay.
My favorite part about living in Seattle is the amazing scenery and changing seasons. There's nothing more beautiful than looking out to Puget Sound and seeing the Olympic Mountains against a crystal blue sky.
Monique Lada
Program and Event Manager
Nickname: Moneequa
Prior to joining SHS, I was involved in corporate event planning and event marketing all across the country.
I am passionate about the services we provide because I love working with clients and vendors to fit all the pieces of the puzzle together to create a seamless program. I also find teamwork very rewarding and it’s so gratifying to watch event attendees having a great time.
Outside of work you might find me being active outside, doing yoga or playing with my orange tabby named Stinky. (No, he isn’t stinky - he just got stuck with the name!)
You might be surprised to learn that I have trekked in the Himalayas and I am one of the only Seattleites who doesn’t drink coffee!
My favorite part about living in Seattle is there is a view of a body of water or a mountain from just about every neighborhood. I never get tired of the views and make it a point to enjoy them!
Tarena Ruehle
Program and Event Manager
Nickname: Back in high school, friends used to call me Bean.
Prior to joining SHS, I spent 4 years working in Seattle's event industry.
I am passionate about the services we provide because we live in an amazing city. It is so much fun to show it off to guests who have never experienced it before.
Outside of work you might find me hiking, biking, or spending time with Taz, my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
Over a single tall soy vanilla latte you might be surprised to learn that I am a rocker at heart. My favorite bands include Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue . . . and the list goes on. I am also a country lover - talk about a contrast!
My favorite part about living in Seattle are the surprises. There is nothing better than getting outside and exploring the city and its surroundings. There is always something new to find!
