Event and Creative Consulting

From intimate gatherings to multi-day festivals and galas, I help teams craft events with purpose, flow, and emotional resonance. My expertise spans program strategy, run-of-show creation, audience experience, and the subtle art of weaving narrative into an event’s arc.

With nearly 15 years of nonprofit experience and over I offer guidance on development planning, donor cultivation, board engagement, grant writing, stewardship, and organizational storytelling. I help nonprofits clarify their mission, strengthen their systems, and build relationships that last.

As Festival Director of WorldFest-Houston, I bring deep experience in programming, jury management, submissions workflows, filmmaker engagement, and awards processes. I also serve as a juror or panelist for festivals seeking thoughtful, experienced, artist-centered evaluation.

Whether opening a ceremony, moderating a panel, or guiding an audience through a program, I bring warmth, clarity, ease, and presence to the stage. My speaking topics include creativity, leadership, storytelling, embodiment, festival culture, and nonprofit sustainability.
