Event and entertainment leader with 20+ years driving sales, operations, and unforgettable audience experiences.
What I'm looking for
I’m a dynamic, empathetic leader with over two decades of experience in event planning, entertainment, sales, and operational management. I’ve built memorable, high-energy programs—from hosting the Miami Lowrider Tour to engaging audiences through radio and TV—while keeping logistics, partners, and outcomes aligned.
I founded and led youth empowerment initiatives focused on confidence, teamwork, and personal growth, and I’ve owned and operated businesses while optimizing sales strategy, inventory, and contract execution. I bring a people-first leadership style, strategic sales and marketing focus, and a drive for operational excellence that turns events and teams into lasting community impact.
