What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that values creativity, collaboration, and community impact.

I am an experienced event producer with a strong background in managing and executing a diverse range of events. Since April 2023, I have independently conceptualized and produced institutional and public events for NSCAD University, including the largest annual independent music gathering in Canada. My role has allowed me to oversee 10% of the university’s revenue streams while managing a budget exceeding $250,000. My ability to adapt and collaborate with various teams has been instrumental in my success.

With over eight years of experience in the arts and service industries, I have honed my skills in project management, marketing, and community outreach. I have worked with creative teams globally, producing staged productions and documentary films that highlight the experiences of BIPOC individuals. My commitment to fostering diverse artist representation and community engagement drives my work, and I am eager to bring my expertise to new challenges.
