ING New York City Marathon

For the 2011 ING New York City Marathon, I worked with the NY Road Runners to assemble and manage a team of experienced event managers and American Red Cross volunteers that worked in tandem to both encourage runners to finish the last part of the marathon as well as spot athletes in need of immediate medical assistance. I recruited, coordinated and managed over 100 staff and volunteers The Red Cross provided detailed training to my team so that we would be equipped in cases of emergency on the course. With fewer than 15 minor emergency situations, my team encouraged and led 47,107 participants to successfully cross the finish line.

Rock n Roll Marathon

 “The Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon combines running, travel and entertainment, creating an unique atmosphere for participants and spectators alike. The San Antonio Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon has become the famous historical landmark lined course that tours the Tower of the Americas, The Alamo, Mission Concepcion, San Fernando Cathedral and more.”

As event producer of the headline stage, I was hired to coordinate and advance entertainment at the finish line of the marathon. During pre-production, I worked closely with the headlining artist Jo Dee Messina’s production and manage-ment team to negotiate and fulfill her contract and rider and serve as liaison between The Competitor Group and Ms. Messina.

In addition to advancing the headlining artist, I managed & advanced additional live entertainment for the headliner stage, created and executed production schedules, coordinated transportation, green room necessities, meals/ buyouts, and artist and vendor accommodations.
