What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead large-scale event production, drive measurable engagement growth, manage cross-functional teams and partnerships, and scale operations within mission-driven or corporate environments.

I am a Conference & Corporate Events Production Manager with 10+ years executing high-volume logistics for global corporate events and large-scale festivals, known for operational rigor and bridging corporate goals with authentic community engagement.

I have coordinated internal conferences for up to 8,000 employees and produced community-driven festivals for 25,000+ attendees, led 200+ live and digital events, managed vendor and budget reconciliation, and stewarded high-visibility partnerships with national brands.

I build scalable systems, oversee permits/insurance/safety compliance, and deliver measurable engagement growth—having increased community participation by 80% and ticket sales by 300%—while maintaining professional discretion for executive-level events.
