About

Producer with experience across live events, media operations, esports, communications, and cross-functional delivery. I’ve worked in both corporate and production environments, from Microsoft program operations to global esports events, with a consistent focus on planning, stakeholder alignment, and execution under pressure. My work sits at the intersection of creativity and structure: building the conditions for teams, partners, and productions to run smoothly and deliver well. Interested in roles across esports, live experiences, and operationally complex media projects.
