Freelance | Day-of Producer & Event Specialist
About
I am a detail-oriented international event production specialist with a proven history of bringing to life successful events from the client’s vision. In the last six years, I have gained invaluable knowledge and practice in diverse events. These include luxury brands, runway shows, galas, and launch parties. I have also worked on fashion events, concerts, awards shows, and client appreciation events. While working in varying industries of events, I have worked in markets in both the US and Europe. I have managed ranges of NP, NFP & FP’s’. I have forged my ability to communicate well and adapt to changes in a fast-paced work environment.
