Executive Assistant @ Legends Global

About

With a career spanning Broadway stages, Hollywood talent agencies, and large-scale corporate events, I bring a production-first approach to event planning/execution and entertainment administrative management. I’ve led and supported events in fast-paced, high-pressure environments where timelines are tight, details matter, and adaptability is essential. I partner closely with clients, creative teams, vendors, and on-site staff to translate vision into executable production plans—anticipating challenges, managing logistics, and ensuring every moving piece aligns on event day. I thrive in live, fast paced environments that demand quick decision-making, clear communication, and strong team coordination. I’m passionate about refining processes, strengthening production workflows, and creating events that are not only well-executed, but thoughtfully produced. 🔑 Event Planning & Production Strengths: -Live Event Planning -Run-of-Show & On-Site Execution -Vendor, Venue & Stakeholder Management -Timeline, Budget & Logistics Coordination -Team Leadership in Live Environments -Real-Time Problem Solving & Adaptability -Strong Administrative & Organizational Skills My background across nonprofit theater production, corporate restaurant management, and major sports & entertainment venues has given me a deep understanding of what it takes to deliver complex events that run seamlessly from load-in to load-out, with a touch of theatrical magic. I’m focused on growing into meeting & event planning roles where I can help deliver exceptional live experiences. I look forward to connecting!
