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

I'm a San Francisco native (born here, raised here, still very much here), which means I know the venues, the vendors, and exactly how long it actually takes to get from the Presidio to the Ferry Building on a Saturday afternoon in October.

I've spent over a decade in events, hospitality, and production; from Symphony galas and Exploratorium fundraisers to the kind of intimate weddings where every single detail carries weight. That experience didn't just teach me logistics. It taught me how to read a room, catch a problem before it becomes yours, and keep everything moving.

My job is to know your day so thoroughly that nothing catches me off guard. If something needs solving, you'll probably hear about it after, if at all.

I work with couples who've done the planning and want someone to take it from here. Someone who already understands the vision, knows the moving pieces, and is ready to lead the day so they don't have to.

A few things worth knowing:

I produce three annual events for the San Francisco Symphony. Rooms where one missed cue affects 500 people. That's the same approach I bring to every wedding.

I am physically incapable of being late.

Off the clock: live music, Bravo without apology, movies and cuddles on the couch with my pup Aurora, and an unreasonable commitment to a curating good playlist for every occasion.

I've always loved puzzles. I still watch Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune almost every night, and I like to think that same part of my brain probably explains why I enjoy building a timeline, connecting all the moving pieces, and making sure nothing gets overlooked.
