What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead large-scale live, hybrid, and virtual events where I can own delivery end-to-end, strengthen client partnerships, and continuously improve processes for exceptional execution under pressure.

I’m a Senior Project Manager/Senior Event Producer and Operations Manager with 20+ years of experience producing large-scale live, hybrid, and virtual events for corporate and entertainment brands, artists, and associations.

I drive multimillion-dollar event portfolios through strong client relationship management, creative production leadership, and operational excellence—known for clear communication and exceptional execution under pressure.

Across roles including Studio46 and Prestige AV & Creative Services, I’ve owned budgets and delivery from concept to event execution, including developing and increasing budget spends to over $1.5 million and managing $1.6 million in invoiced events in 2023. I also trained and mentored new PMs and built a talent pipeline into Project Management.

I enjoy turning complexity into repeatable systems—developing production schedules, job profiles, and SOP/process improvements that increased efficiency from pre-project management through on-site delivery, while coordinating logistics across travel, transportation, equipment, and inventory.
