Hiya! I'm Kristin, an event professional who enjoys a good plate of sushi, a spine-tingling horror movie and supporting my community, locally and abroad, whenever and however possible.
​
I have expertise in managing a variety of events including tradeshows, virtual, hybrid, C-level, outdoor festivals, fundraisers and more.

What I Do
Plan
Planning events is like second nature to me. It allows me to merge my creative side with my type-A organizational brain. Whether it's a Silicon Valley tech event or a baby shower, I'm all in.
Manage
I excel at managing events from ideation to completion, but I'm flexible enough to jump in at any step in the process and drive a project forward.
Execute
The moment you see an event come together after countless hours of blood, sweat and tears is like no other. I'm constantly chasing that high.
