Senior Operations Manager
Around the office, you’re known for: Comic relief from time to time. And if you lose something, I will find it!
Meeting or event experience you’ll never forget: Working an event in Maui, the client hired chef Morimoto to filet a tuna live in between band sets. Seeing that close up was incredible, a little gross, and truly unforgettable. Also, as a freelancer for Hosts, I was smuggled into an Elton John concert by our client. Got to experience an amazing, bucket list artist from box seats at PetCo. I cried a little!
The one SoCal secret I’m willing to share… the seven bridges urban hike in San Diego. It’s about 7 miles and takes you through all the bridges in and around Hillcrest, Midtown, and Bankers Hill. It’s a mix of nature and urban areas, and you can eat and drink along the way if you’re so inclined!
