Independent Creative Producer
In 2008 I started as a staff member at MASS MoCA and worked with the Director of Performing Arts to facilitate the programming departments needs; managing logistics, staffing, and cross-department communication. After leaving my full tim position in 2011, I worked as a Line Producer to facilitate festival initiatives of large scale events (3,500-10,000 patrons);Leading on all audience experience endeavors including curating food & vendors, managing safety protocols, mapping, traffic & ticketing logistics, etc. Festivals have includes the biannual Solid Sound Festival (curated by WILCO) and the annual Fresh Grass Festival.
In this work I initiated veteran volunteer initiatives, all greening and recycling measures, interfaced with operations and municipalities to manage site operations, trained and managed staff and crowd control, developed VIP experiences, managed all off-stage pop-up events and select signings, and facilitated many other duties as assigned.
Additionally I Line produced one-off large capacity events for the museum, and some large art openings. More on MASS MoCA here.
The refurbished factory offers unique listening experiences in galleries and off corners. I managed crowds, artist logistics, safety protocols and staffing.
Building capacity for up to 13,000 patron and 50+ bands and live events for one-offs and festivals.
Finding room for all and supporting VIP experience during ongoing festivals and exhibitions with patron experience in mind.
Under my leadership volunteerism grew four fold, from 50 to 210 regular volunteers. I managed recruitment, training, and staffing throughout all events.
