What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles producing community-centered events with sustainable, quality-of-life focused organizations, offering growth, collaboration, and measurable revenue impact.

I am an event organizer and marketing strategist with 13 years producing high-impact festivals, corporate and culinary events, destination marketing, sponsorships, and strategic partnerships. I have produced more than 125 projects and scaled teams and revenue—delivering $357K+ in annual promotions revenue and launching major events that attracted thousands of attendees.

I lead end-to-end event production, sponsorship development, brand strategy, and community engagement with a hands-on, collaborative approach. I am mission-driven to support organizations that enrich communities, celebrate culture, and elevate businesses through extraordinary experiences and sustainable leadership.
