About Gabriel Mena
I’m a bilingual (EN/ES) business student and live entertainment freelancer with hands-on experience running concerts, dance showcases, and artist showcases from the ground up. I’ve managed five-figure production budgets, overseen event logistics for crowds of 3,600+ people, and coordinated everything from artist hospitality and box office to floor access and main entrances. My leadership roles have strengthened my skills in operations, accounting, and cross-functional collaboration, especially when it comes to aligning production, financial, and creative aspects. I also write concert and festival coverage, album reviews, and artist interviews, which has helped me better understand how venues, talent teams, and media intersect within the live music ecosystem. I’m actively pursuing opportunities in live entertainment management where I can combine my operations, media, and artist-relations experience to help build unforgettable live experiences at scale.
