## About

```text
At SenovvA, I co-managed the biannual Critics Association Press Tours, working alongside the VP to produce events showcasing upcoming television shows for NBCU, Netflix, and Disney/Hulu. I also worked with other project managers on Elton John’s AIDS Foundation Oscar Party, overseeing AV production and concert logistics.

Earlier, at Encore, A Freeman Company, I managed technical production for events including the Golden Globes DCP, Oscars Luncheon, and BAFTA Awards. I’ve also managed national marketing events and multi-city tours, including one that led to securing a $30 million contract.
