Background

About Marissa Stein

I build stories you can experience. Whether through a campaign, a conversation, or a room full of people, I specialize in shaping moments that leave an impression. As a Marketing and Events Specialist, I bring together strategic planning, creative communication, and seamless project management to create experiences that connect and resonate. Currently supporting the Vice-Principal Research portfolio at Queen’s University, I work with a cross-departmental team to develop communications initiatives and coordinate events that highlight the university’s research excellence and community impact, both internally and for international audiences. With more than six years of experience across tourism and hospitality, entertainment, higher education, and coworking, I have led brand strategy development, managed over 800 meetings and events, supported international recruitment campaigns, and built websites and social media platforms from the ground up. My background includes marketing and event-focused roles with Disney and Queen’s University, as well as sales and marketing leadership at Fractal Workspace, a local coworking start-up. I bring with me a Bachelor’s in Art History and Classical Studies (Queen’s University), a Business Marketing diploma (St. Lawrence College), a certificate in Tourism & Hospitality Management (University of Florida), a Project Management Professional certificate (Google and Coursera), and a global perspective sharpened through roles with organizations like Disney. With a foundation in marketing, hospitality, and the arts, I thrive in collaborative spaces where creativity, logistics, and strategy come together to create something meaningful—and memorable.
