What I'm looking for

I seek a mid-level role combining event production and operations, with opportunities to own programs, improve processes, and scale community impact.

I am an events and operations professional with experience producing recurring programming, hybrid public events, and large-scale private activations across Los Angeles and the Bay Area.

At WriteGirl & Bold Ink Writers I produce 4–6 monthly events, led the organization’s first hybrid event with 150+ attendees, and supported donor and funder goals that contributed to securing a $100K/year multi-year grant.

Previously I managed national internship program logistics at Wasserman Media Group—serving 125+ interns per quarter, coordinating with universities, processing contracts, and securing $120K in additional program funding through executive reporting and process improvements.

I combine strong operational systems (Asana, Notion, Google Suite) with hands-on hospitality and vendor management experience to deliver seamless events, improve workflows, and boost engagement and RSVP rates.
