Experience
Event Producer, Food & Beverage
Sep 2016 — Present · US
Event producer with 10+ years of experience specializing in culinary-forward experiences across the entertainment, nonprofit, and lifestyle sectors. I’ve produced high-profile events for clients including The GRAMMYs, The James Beard Foundation, Elton John AIDS Foundation, Billboard, and Lululemon—merging food, beverage, and hospitality with meticulous production and seamless logistics.Recognized on BizBash’s 40 Under 40 list, I’m known for my calm under pressure, creative problem-solving, and collaborative approach. From multi-chef tasting events to brand-driven premieres and galas, I design experiences that are strategic, sensory, and rooted in storytelling.With a background shaped by global travel and international education, I bring a culturally fluent, detail-obsessed perspective to every project. Whether building F&B programs, managing vendors, or leading large-scale productions, I’m all in from first draft to final guest departure.
