Alexia Saavedra Vera
Golden Valley
Summary
Motivated and detail-oriented bilingual (English and Spanish) University of Minnesota graduate with a strong interest in event planning and production. While I don’t yet have formal experience in the field, I’ve independently organized a variety of themed events—including a baby shower, bridal celebration, and intimate pre-wedding gathering—managing and planning decor, music, food and beverage, and entertainment. Through these projects, and my background as a yoga teacher, I’ve developed skills in creative planning, logistics coordination, time management, and guest experience. I bring a positive, proactive attitude, strong interpersonal skills, and a deep eagerness to learn through real-world, professional experience in a collaborative environment. With a multicultural background and recent experience living in Chile, I offer a global perspective and adaptability that can enrich any team.
