Resume

I don’t just create events—I build experiences that impact lives and elevate communities. 

I wake up every day excited to dive in and push the boundaries of what’s possible. I have the gift of using my skills to craft moments that people will never forget.

I’ve hustled, not just by starting my own ventures but by working alongside some of the biggest names in arts and entertainment. Through these projects, I’ve built an unmatched network of top-tier vendors and creatives from all over the country, and I bring this power into every project I touch.

With my expertise in the arts, operational mastery, large-scale productions, and innovative marketing strategies, I’m not just another event planner. I’m a strategist who sees every project as an opportunity to deliver on a massive scale, bringing energy, creativity, and precision to every detail. This is what I was born to do, and I'd love to partner with you.
