Summary

Hands-on Tour Manager with three years of experience keeping national and international runs moving smoothly. From tight club shows to massive arena festivals, I handle daily logistics from the ground up. This includes advancing technical requirements, keeping a strict eye on budgets and expenses, coordinating VIP experiences, and overseeing merchandise operations. I'm comfortable managing the pressure of sold-out environments and act as the primary point of contact for venue staff, promoters, and vendors. Whether I'm reconciling night-of-show settlements or managing artist hospitality, I focus on running a tight ship and adapting to the inevitable curveballs of the road. My goal is always to maintain a professional, efficient environment so the artist can focus entirely on the performance.
