HOW IT ALL STARTED...
It all started in 2013 after attending an electronic music event in San Diego, CA. It was a scene like no other, and memories far beyond imaginable. These events captivated me so much that I wanted to become involved in the music and entertainment industry in any possible way. In January of 2014, I was given the opportunity to create event flyers for a local San Diego event production company called Audio Culture Events. Later that year, I would create the program booklets for some of Silk Road Productions' events such as D6 Night Market, Asian Cultural Festival. Never would I have imagined that this was only just the beginning of her career as an industry professional.
After graduating with my bachelor's in 2017, I had been invited to be a guest writer for Festival Squad, allowing me to grow and flourish with the company. By early 2018 I had joined the team full time, and since then I had attended Splash House, LOVELOUD, HARD Day of the Dead, BUKU Music + Art Project and more as official media. With the company I was able to grow as a photographer, being granted photo access for KAABOO San Diego, Second Sky Music Festival, Porter Robinson's VIRTUAL SELF show at the NOS Events Center and more.
​
In 2018 I also joined Good Time Design, LLC as a Jr. Graphic Designer, and was promoted within a year involved in the company. Through this opportunity I was able to hone my skills designing for diversely branded restaurant venues such as The Blind Burro in Downtown San Diego, and Go Go Amigo at Point Loma Liberty Station. I had also gained exposure to the country music industry through several small and large-scale projects for San Diego's Moonshine Flats and Moonshine Beach.
Currently I am the Marketing Manager for Insomniac Events, who produces some of the most innovative, immersive music festivals and events in the world. My projects include the premier southern california music festival Beyond Wonderland, America's Longest Running Rave since 1995 - Nocturnal Wonderland, as well as Beyond Wonderland's national expansions in Chicago, IL and Gorge, WA.
