Shiri Gradek
Trivia Host, Event Organizer and Head Porcupine

TRIVIA:

Shiri Gradek has been writing trivia questions and hosting trivia nights since 2010 when she first launched her event company. Her love for trivia board games, pub quizzes and learning about useless knowledge inspired her to regularly host trivia nights and surround herself with her fellow dorks. In addition to hosting at a few locales, Shiri is also available to host for private functions and can write custom questions to fit your theme.  

EVENTS:

Since 2010, Shiri's event organizing portfolio has included, weddings, business conferences, parades, street festivals, scavenger hunts, school carnivals, job trainings, corporate functions, sip n shops, private gatherings and fundraisers. She loves organizing and running all of them except weddings. Please don't call her for the latter.

PERSONAL:

Porcupines are pokey, but also so cute. When Shiri is not hosting trivia and organizing events, she likes to hang out with her teenage porcupettes if they agree to be in the same room with her.
