Event Building and Management

I know how to take events from an idea to an unforgettable experience. I’ve built events from the ground up — planning every detail, securing sponsorships and partner contracts, and managing on-site setup. On the ground, I handle it all: making sure customers, staff, and attendees have a seamless, engaging experience. Whether it’s a massive tradeshow or a high-energy gaming event, I thrive on bringing big ideas to life and making sure every detail clicks into place.

  • I’ve managed and brought to life gaming events of all sizes, including PAX West, PAX East, TwitchCon, and charity events like Battle for Charity. From designing, to building and executing on-site, and even cosplay — I specalize in securing key partnerships, managing logistics, and even love setting up a PC or two. I thrive on creating high-energy, immersive experiences that leave a lasting impression on both players and audiences.

  • I’ve built a strong presence in the education event and trade show space, managing everything from small-scale shows where I planned, organized, and ran booths solo, to designing and executing large-scale events at industry staples like FETC and ISTE. Beyond event management, I’ve served as a speaker at esports events, sharing my expertise to help amplify the role of esports in education and inspire educators to harness its potential for student engagement and learning.

My experience spans the full production cycle — from concept development and filming to post-production editing — ensuring each piece delivers value and leaves a lasting impression.

  • Individual Content Creation

    I bring a creator’s passion and a strategist’s mindset to social media. With hands-on experience working on contracts for major companies and building my own audience of over 50k in just six months, I know how to craft compelling content, drive engagement, and turn followers into loyal brand advocates. My work has allowed me to collaborate with major brand partnerships and sponsorships, giving me a unique inside scoop on industry trends and what truly resonates with gaming and content-driven audiences.
