ABOUT
I’m an event producer with 20 years of experience bringing large-scale, high-impact events to life. From trade shows and conventions to awards shows and executive summits, I’ve led the production of a wide range of experiences with creativity, precision and care.

I’ve managed budgets of up to $14 million and produced events for more than 30,000 attendees, yet I’m just as passionate about curating intimate, gatherings for C-suite audiences. My approach is highly collaborative, and I take pride in transforming bold ideas into seamless, memorable experiences. 

Whether I’m leading cross-functional teams, overseeing AV and stage logistics, building detailed run-of-show schedules, I bring a mix of confidence, adaptability and calm under pressure.

This year, I’ve expanded my work to include travel directing, focusing on complicated room sets, off-site activations, VIP experiences, and AV stage production. It’s been a rewarding new chapter, and I’m enjoying the challenge of ensuring flawless execution, wherever the event takes me. 

If you’re looking for a seasoned, solutions-oriented producer who thrives under pressure and genuinely loves this work, I’d love to connect.
