San Diego, California, United States

After discovering my interest in events, I founded my own event planning company. I planned and organized a variety of events, owning every aspect of planning and execution. From marketing events to large company parties and small animal adoption events to weddings big and small; I have planned it all. I love creating and maintaining relationships with clients, vendors and staff. I managed every aspect of each of my events: venue sourcing, contractor negotiation, budgeting/ finance, travel, staff hiring & management, laws and regulations and so much more. I started contracting again after the pandemic hit, working with various people and companies; helping them get departments set-up, creating procedures, SOP’s and KPI's, as well as standardizing roles and other logistics. Mainly focused on creating easy transitions for returning employees and growing businesses. Continued freelancing while caring for my sick mother.

I brought my logistical and organizational expertise to a newly created role within the sound department. I supported over 90 people, including upper management. Daily duties included: managing budgets, streamlining and creating processes and resources, operational management, and more. I was the go-to person for most employee related issues, including payroll, travel and employee morale.
