I specialize in project/ event management with a marketing focus, ensuring that every event, campaign or program I put on produces successful results. During my career, I have produced and evaluated more than 1,000 events ranging from media and influencer events, corporate functions, promotional events, weddings and galas. I believe that the value of an event is found when you accompany the planning and logistics process with strategic marketing. Along with my event experience, I have a proven track record of successful and meaningful branding and marketing campaigns that has led my clients and past employers to increase sales and brand awareness.

Based In: San Francisco, CA

Social Media Links and Bio:

I’ve had a passion for food and music for as long a I can remember. When I moved to San Francisco in 2009, those passions developed into a life-changing career path. I primarily work as a food vendor coordinator at festivals all over the country, but I also dabble in artist relations. As a food vendor coordinator I can build a food program from the ground up, work to improve an existing program, or simply show up onsite and help manage the madness. I take pride in strong problem-solving abilities, excellent written and spoken communication skills, and a creative spirit that leads me to think outside the box. My favorite projects are those that allow me to assist up and coming festivals in creating a framework for their food vending program, but I am also happy to join up with an existing program to help make it the best it can be.

I have spent the last 2 years delving into the multiple facets of festivals and productions including site operations, stage management, audio engineering and hospitality. I began recording and producing audio recordings at a young age and I am a competent audio engineer as well as a musician. I studied classical guitar at Texas State University with an emphasis on composition and business. That being said, I don’t mind getting my hands dirty and working hard for 16 hours straight. My largest strength is my ability to communicate effectively with tact and efficiency.
