What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role managing high-profile events where I can drive revenue, lead cross-functional teams, and deliver secure, innovative experiences in a fast-paced, growth-focused organization.

I am a dynamic event management professional who leads end-to-end planning and production for high-profile corporate, government, and social events. I manage portfolios of 15–20 clients and produce large-scale programs at venues accommodating up to 5,000 guests for clients such as PwC, Capital One, YouTube, and the United Nations.

I drive revenue growth through strategic marketing, budget management, and exceptional client service, and I have held leadership roles including Marketing Director and Event Operations Manager. I thrive in fast-paced, high-stakes environments, collaborating cross-functionally to deliver seamless, secure, and impactful event experiences.
