With over 6 years of experience, I specialize in executing high-impact events and brand activations that drive real results. From managing cross-functional teams at national campaigns like the Canada Games (where I helped raise over $10,000 for charity) to leading international logistics for the T20 Cricket World Cup promo in the Caribbean, I bring strategy, adaptability, and a people-first approach to every project. I’ve worked with 20+ brands across North America in freelance and agency roles—engaging with 200+ attendees per activation at events like Toronto Maple Leafs tailgates and TFC games. While pursuing my post-secondary studies, I’ve led event teams, captured digital content, and overseen creative interns, proving I can juggle deadlines, lead with clarity, and elevate the experience on and off the ground. Whether you’re looking to increase event impact, build authentic brand connections, or strengthen your digital presence, I deliver solutions that resonate and results that stick.
