Hiring for…

I turn brands into places people want to step inside.

Dear hiring team,

For 10+ years I've worked where marketing meets live experience: PR and marketing at Adventist HealthCare, brand strategy and events for clients across a state at Green Pages, and event work inside Facebook's own data center, where I supported brand messaging and handled confidential unreleased projects.

As founder of Open Window Events, I take an idea from concept to sold-out, ticketed, immersive experience — story, creative, budget, vendors, and a 20+ person crew of caterers, decorators, and performers — then grow the audience through social and community. I'd bring that same 360° approach, and a deep bench of vendor and partner relationships, to Meta's global activations.

I'd love to bring that to your next Experiential Marketing Lead role.
