    PLEASE NOTE that my Upwork profile lists a Philadelphia location, but that is a mailing address only and I am not limited to any geographic location. Although my profile lists an hourly rate, I am happy to discuss a flat fee/per event based rate instead. I've worked as a Freelance Event Producer for 17+ years on a wide variety of events and programs. About 10 years of that experience was centered around corporate experiential events across North America for Fortune 500 companies and the remaining years have been a combination of full-scale event production for corporate and non-profit events that range in industry, audience, location, purpose, etc. A photo gallery from a variety of events can be viewed in my Upwork profile. My focus has been to help elevate an organization's event through creative direction, aligning all the various production elements for a seamless execution, and creating a positive and unique experience for event attendees. I have been incredibly fortunate to have worked with some unique programs and talented individuals within each of the 50 states, as well as most of the Canadian provinces. Excellent references can be provided upon request. I am always looking to partner with new clients/organizations. There are no costs associated with initial consultations or conversations, so please feel free to reach out if you have a potential event to discuss. I look forward to hearing from you!
