About

I lead the planning and execution of complex live experiences — from multi-venue arts festivals and donor galas to concerts, VIP events, and community activations.

With more than 8 years of production leadership experience and oversight of seven-figure event portfolios, I specialize in aligning budgets, vendors, stakeholders, and creative teams to deliver seamless audience experiences. The skills transfer — whether it's a concert, a product launch, or a private gala, the job is the same: vendors, timelines, budgets, and people all moving together.

Whether managing a single flagship production or a year-round calendar of events, I bring operational discipline, calm leadership, and a relentless focus on execution.
