BRINGING EXPERIENCES
TO LIFE.
Event Operations · Corporate Experiences · Brand Activations · VIP Hospitality
I'm an event operations and experiential marketing professional with 6+ years of experience bringing major sporting events, fan experiences, and VIP hospitality programs to life. From my time at FanDuel to managing hospitality at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, I've had the chance to work on some pretty incredible events.
From Super Bowl parties and Kentucky Derby celebrations to corporate offsites and championship experiences, I've worked on events of all shapes and sizes. Along the way, I've managed more than $2M in annual event budgets across roughly 25 events a year, working with creative teams, agencies, vendors, and partners to turn ideas into experiences people remember.
I enjoy the mix of creative thinking, detailed planning, and problem-solving that goes into making a great event happen. Whether it's a large-scale production or a more intimate VIP experience, I take pride in getting the details right and making sure everything comes together onsite.
