I worked closely with a variety of concert and event promoters at a wide range of music festivals in the United States, Canada and Mexico. I was able to build a successful business for myself as the director of departmental operations and the liaison between catering vendors and promoters for staff and artist meals management.

• Evaluated suppliers to maintain cost controls and improve operations.
• Prepared variety of different written communications, reports and documents.
• Provided thoughtful guidance to personnel in navigating and resolving snags in productivity.
