Detail-oriented event producer with over 5 years of experience orchestrating seamless live events and shoots. The productions I have built range from live theater, circus and magic to long running consumer facing activations and high end art installations. I bring my skills in logistics planning, vendor coordination, and interpersonal relations to make magic on a deadline. Proven track record of delivering high-quality results under pressure.
Born and raised in Las Vegas before moving to Manhattan, I have a passion for storytelling and visual arts with a healthy dose of spectacle. ✨
