Events & hosting

I’m the face at the door and the voice on the mic. Hosting, bartending and production help for parties, club nights and shoots around Los Angeles.

Production & events

Production assistant

An extra set of hands on set for photo shoots, music videos, content days and events. I help with setup and breakdown, run errands, keep talent and crew on schedule, and handle whatever the shoot needs so you can stay focused on the creative.

What's included
  • Setup and breakdown of gear, backdrops, lighting stands and props
  • Runs for coffee, food, supplies and last-minute items
  • Keeping talent and crew on call times and the shot schedule
  • Organizing wardrobe, props and the set between looks
  • Greeting talent and guests and getting them where they need to be

Good to know: Booked by the hour, half day or full day. Tell me the call time, location and type of shoot and I'll send a quote.

Hostess & event host

A warm, polished first impression and a host who keeps the room alive. I greet guests at the door, run the guest list, and host on the mic at parties, lounges and events.
