What I'm looking for

I seek event- or hospitality-focused roles where I can lead large corporate events, manage vendors and budgets, grow client relationships, and mentor teams in a collaborative, results-driven environment.

I am a seasoned event planner with more than six years of experience delivering fast-paced corporate events and large-scale hospitality programs. I am responsible, proactive and organized, and I prioritize customer satisfaction while meeting aggressive business goals.

I was promoted from Event Planner to Partner Director at Q2 Eventos LTDA, where I organized and ran 300 events for up to 5,000 people and managed revenues of US$500k. I have experience in bidding for government and state contracts, negotiating vendor agreements, managing supplier payments, and conducting post-event evaluations.

I bring strong B2B sales and account management experience from Houston Business Consulting Inc., mentoring new hires and growing client relationships. I am multilingual—Portuguese (native), English (professional working), French (limited)—and I continuously learn new skills, including coursework in Python and data structures.
