From leading major event operations for an NFL team to being recognized as one of Hispanic Executive’s Leading Latinas in 2025, my career has been a dynamic journey of growth, leadership, and breaking barriers in the venue and event management industry.
My time with the Las Vegas Raiders has been an incredible chapter—beginning as Director of Event Operations in 2018 and advancing to Vice President of Events in 2022. Over these years, I’ve had the privilege of overseeing high-profile events, managing large-scale operations, and ensuring an unparalleled fan and guest experience at one of the most iconic venues in sports and entertainment. The fast-paced and ever-evolving nature of this industry has continually challenged me to innovate, lead with confidence, and set new standards for excellence in event management.
Before my time in Las Vegas, my passion for events and venue operations took shape through a variety of unique and impactful roles. In 2017, I was honored to receive the 6th Man of the Year Award in the Portland Trail Blazers Revenue Department, a recognition of my contributions to the team’s overall success. That same year, I had the opportunity to serve as Team Lead for the Upstream Music Fest + Summit, where I managed a team of 11 full-time Trail Blazers staff overseeing operations across 34 venues—an experience that reinforced my ability to lead complex, multi-venue events with precision and creativity.
In 2018, I applied my operational expertise to the development of two comprehensive operations manuals for Cinerama in Seattle, WA—establishing clear frameworks for efficiency, consistency, and excellence in venue management. These experiences laid the foundation for my continued growth in the industry, giving me the tools to take on larger challenges and leadership roles.
Most recently, I was deeply honored to be named one of Hispanic Executive’s Leading Latinas for 2025—an award that celebrates Latinas who are driving change, breaking barriers, and paving the way for future generations. Representation and leadership in this industry matter, and I am proud to be part of a movement that empowers diverse voices to lead and shape the future of live events and venue management.
Reflecting on my career, IAVM’s community and the 30|UNDER|30 program have played an essential role in my professional development, providing access to invaluable mentorship, industry insights, and opportunities to connect with like-minded leaders. The relationships and knowledge I’ve gained through this network have helped me grow as a leader and continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in event operations.
As I look ahead, I remain committed to elevating the industry, fostering emerging talent, and championing innovation in event management. The journey so far has been remarkable, and I can’t wait to see what’s next.
