I specialize in curating large-scale events that weaves cultural vibrancy together with meaningful community impact.
I bring over 12 years of transformative event production experience to communities across southern Oregon. As a seasoned consultant, I excel in developing strategic visions for new and revitalized events that serve multiple community goals while ensuring sustainable growth and financial viability.
Drawing from my decade of nonprofit leadership—including roles as artistic director and executive director—combined with my current service as a City Council member in my city, I offer a distinct perspective on community-driven event planning.
My approach is deeply rooted in post-pandemic economic recovery and community rebuilding, particularly informed by my firsthand experience in the disaster recovery work my city is still undergoing after the 2020 Almeda Wildfire and municipal governance.
My portfolio includes managing events with audiences exceeding 1,000 attendees, seamlessly incorporating diverse elements such as music, visual arts, storytelling, film, dance, and local vendor marketplaces. My expertise extends beyond event execution to include comprehensive budget development and funding acquisition, with seven years of experience in creating sustainable revenue generation plans.
But lots of event producers can do this, so what sets me apart? One of my favorite parts of the process is identifying and activating a community's hidden assets through strategic partnerships and stakeholder engagement. Through this, events I work on can serve as powerful placemaking tools that simultaneously support local businesses, energize public spaces, and attract regional tourism—all while maintaining an authentic connection to the host community's identity and needs.
To date, I’ve partnered with nonprofits, municipal committees, and destination marketing offices to create events that transcend traditional entertainment, becoming catalysts for economic development, accessibility, and artistic expression. Through thoughtful planning and execution, I am committed to helping you create an experience that delivers measurable impact while fostering the kind of connections that strengthen the social fabric of your community.
