    EXPERIENCE Seasoned events coordinator with 10+ years experience on both the creative and production sides of events. I'm equally comfortable swinging a hammer as spreadsheeting a budget, and just as comfortable leading a team as I am being a part of one. My experience ranges from manual labor to production oversight to creative direction, on events as small as 10 guests to as large as 200,000 attendees. As a longtime resident and unabashed lover of San Francisco, I'm connected to the city in both my personal and professional lives. I love every opportunity to be part of events that play to this city's greatest strengths: creativity, diversity, community, and a DIY "anyone can do anything with enough help" attitude.
