Event Management Expert | Community Leader
With a Bachelor of Science in Economics from San Diego State University, I have built a robust career in event management and community engagement. Currently, I serve as the Chapter Lead for Reading Rhythms in San Diego, where I oversee chapter operations and promote literacy initiatives. Previously, I was the Senior Manager of Campus Events at UC San Diego, managing a team to execute over 40 annual events, including the Sun God Festival and Triton Fest. My role involved strategic planning, budget management, and sponsor engagement. As Interim Director of University Events, I led large-scale campus programs, managing a $1 million budget. My earlier roles as Event Manager and Coordinator honed my skills in event production, talent acquisition, and sponsorship, adapting to challenges like COVID-19 by transitioning to virtual events. My career reflects a commitment to creating impactful and engaging experiences.
