Exceptional Event Production
Comprehensive | Day-of | Triage
I got my start in 2004 with Andrea Soorikian, assisting on high-end private events in New Mexico, including celebrity weddings, fundraisers, and lavish parties.
Later I worked with Marcia Skillman at Destination Services of Santa Fe supporting logistics on corporate events and star-studded gatherings.
From 2005-2013, my time working for Danny Myer and Drew Nieporent in the superior hospitality industry in Manhattan polished my capacity to create extraordinary guest experiences.
From 2007-2012 I chaired events for Planned Parenthood of New York City, raising tens of thousands of dollars while managing volunteers, silent auctions, vendors and talent.
From 2012-2019, I freelanced my services as a day-of coordinator, logistics manager for corporate retreats, weddings and conferences from New York to California.
From 2019-present, I produce smaller, more intimate wellness events through my business, Mariposa Strategies.
I’m open to contract or staff opportunities to support your event objectives.

Praise
Praise from bride
“Thank you for all that you did for our wedding! SO GRATEFUL!”
Praise from event emcee
I can’t tell you what it meant to me to be involved. It truly made me proud and humble at the same time to be part of the most well-planned event I’ve ever emceed. You are a force of nature! So relaxed, but so on-point through it all. Anything you ever need, please ask.
Praise from organization's leadership
“Can I just say how much last night's event rocked? It was such a pleasure working with you day in and day out to make it happen. You both me every day in your commitment and passion leading up to the event - and last night you were beyond fabulous!”
Praise from volunteer at event I co-chaired
“I have to say, I was really struck by how ON IT the co-chairs were. Not that I expected any less, but there was just such an excellent balance of a “this is fun” atmosphere along with “we get stuff done and we get it done well” professionalism.”
