Calm, Capable, and (Yes) Carrying a Clipboard.

I'm a San Francisco native who thrives on smart timelines and thoughtful direction. I manage large-scale fundraising events for the San Francisco Symphony — the kind of productions where a single missed cue or timing issue affects hundreds of people and there's no opportunity to reset. I've also produced events for the Exploratorium and Dress for Success, which taught me how to adapt across different event types while maintaining the same operational rigor.

Working in those high-pressure environments taught me how to anticipate issues before they surface and keep complex operations moving with steady leadership. That's what I bring to your wedding: the same level of precision I'd bring to a 600-person Symphony gala, scaled to your 80-guest celebration. Organized, proactive, and grounded; whether I'm coordinating donor arrivals at a black-tie fundraiser or making sure your ceremony starts on time.

You've already done the creative work. I'm here to carry it through with care and clarity.

When I'm not tracking a timeline, I'm usually at a concert, planning a trip abroad, catching up on Bravo, or spending time with my pup, Aurora. The common thread? Good energy, intentionally spent.
