At Seafair, I coordinate closely across departments with the CEO, Director of Operations, Director of Partnerships, Director of Finance, and Community Engagement Manager, and Event Production Manager.

As the sole member of the Marketing Department I oversee several contractors to help coordinate and deploy social media marketing calendar, graphic design, and special events collateral.

Additionally, I work with vendors and external stakeholders (Boeing, Kaiser Permanente, Alaska Airlines, etc) to identify and produce both digital and print deliverables that meet contract requirements.

Results

In 2025, our team successfully moved our parade location for the first time in Seafair’s 75 year history to Seattle’s newly renovated waterfront. This was a massive technical/logistical accomplishment. On the marketing side, we launched a large, multi-channel awareness campaign along with a tiered-ticketing strategy – selling out the paid portion of the event.

Awards

Seafair received several WFEA (Washington Festivals and Events Association) acknowledgements including the Summit Award for Programming/Logistical Achievement, Best Print Collateral Piece, and Best Website.
