What I'm looking for

I seek an event coordination role in hospitality where I manage weddings and large events, coordinate vendors and catering, use my Spanish fluency and certifications, and grow within a collaborative, guest-focused team.

I am a hospitality professional with a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management, concentrating in Meetings and Events. I specialize in coordinating weddings and private events with a client-first approach.

At Lakeside Weddings & Events and the UNLV Fertitta Football Complex, I coordinated logistics, ran client meetings, managed vendors, organized rehearsals, and prepared venues. I create detailed timelines and floor plans to ensure seamless execution.

I have hands-on catering experience working alongside an Executive Chef to provide meals for large teams and high-volume front-of-house service at busy restaurants serving 200–300 guests. I excel at multitasking, customer service, and collaborating with teams under pressure.

I am fluent in Spanish and hold OSHA, AutoCAD, Food Handler, and Alcohol Awareness certifications, along with Microsoft Office proficiency. I am eager to apply my event coordination and hospitality management skills in a collaborative, guest-focused organization.
