DIRECTOR

Serving as Director for the Beat ‘SC Rally has been one of the most impactful experiences of my career so far. I managed a budget, secured brand recognition, and reached out to sponsors—successfully landing partnerships with ChargeL and Universal Studios. My responsibilities included overseeing finances, coordinating the run of show, leading creative marketing efforts, and managing multiple teams. These teams included athletes from football, gymnastics, soccer, and volleyball, as well as five musical acts.

Maintaining constant communication with liaisons from each group and keeping the event on schedule was a significant challenge, but it was also an exhilarating experience I will always cherish. I am incredibly grateful for the 96 employees (in addition to the acts, teams, and talent) who helped make this event possible.

As a member of UCLA’s Fashion and Student Trends club, I’ve had the opportunity to support the production of the annual FAST Runway show, a large-scale student-led fashion event that brings together designers, models, creative teams, and campus partners.

Being part of the Production Staff has given me valuable experience in managing live event logistics from both the front-of-house and backstage perspective. My role has involved working directly with the venue, attending rehearsals, assisting with model coordination, preparing VIP seating and gift bags, organizing press materials, and supporting committee collaboration for projections, music, and overall show flow.

This role has strengthened my ability to stay organized in a fast-paced production environment and adapt to whatever needs arise backstage. From cue-calling models during the show to helping with last-minute production needs, I’ve gained hands-on experience in making sure the creative vision of the runway is executed smoothly and professionally.

PRODUCTION COORDINATOR

As the show's Production Coordinator, I was deeply involved in creating the event from start to finish. From selecting talent and setting the show’s creative direction to managing marketing efforts, I contributed to all creative aspects of the production. Additionally, I had the unique opportunity to work with high-profile celebrity judges, including Dave Grohl, which required maintaining strict secrecy throughout the planning process. This experience taught me how to navigate high-level confidentiality while ensuring smooth event execution. This role also strengthened my skills in planning ahead, working diligently with diverse teams, and maintaining clear and consistent communication with everyone involved.

STAGE CREW MEMBER 

During a previous Spring Sing, I gained hands-on production experience as a Stage Crew Member, learning how events operate behind the scenes. I worked directly with talent, including notable names such as Jeremy Renner, Merlyn Woods, and Oscar Nuñez. My responsibilities included guiding performers to their judging tables and ensuring backstage operations ran smoothly.

This role required adaptability; for instance, I stepped in to spotlight a performance when unforeseen lighting issues arose. Through this experience, I developed both technical skills behind the stage and the ability to remain calm under pressure.
