Austin, Texas, United States
I have a passion for gathering people, creating intentional spaces, and participating in the world of art and creativity. I enjoy working with happy people who have a shared passion and drive to work with excellence. I started my career in 2010 and learned every angle of event production prior to graduating from Cal Poly SLO in 2014 with a degree in Event Management. In my professional career since then, I've excelled in experience marketing, field marketing, venue sales, and business operations. I’ve been an individual contributor, a manager, and a business owner, but above all else, I am a problem solver at heart. I believe anyone can be an entrepreneur in any role they are in by taking ownership and being creative with the resources at hand to serve those around them to the best of their ability.
I support small businesses, non-profits, and private clients with venue sourcing, event sales, event planning, production, staffing, and onsite event management.
Selling over $1.5 million in event bookings to date, I manage inbound event leads swiftly with comprehensive quotes to close sales, follow up with warm leads, negotiate pricing, prepare and finalize contracts, and pass event details to the venue team to execute. I manage partner relationships with venue locations, develop competitive pricing to drive sales, and keep venue marketing collateral up to date. I help the TVC Founder develop internal processes, business development strategy, and marketing initiatives to drive inbound leads and expand into new markets.
I managed 70+ Chrome Enterprise channel and OEM partner marketing events and activities to drive leads and awareness for Chrome OS in the enterprise market, plus Google-led flagship events to share key marketing updates and drive awareness for Chrome browser and OS.
Starting as a trade show coordinator, I grew to build out the Brand Communications events and trade show department for business development field activities and internal executive events. I led a team of 2 direct reports to manage an annual route of 40+ trade shows, plus sponsorships at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Kentucky Derby and Indy 500.
