About

Hi, I’m Vi! (Pronounced just like the letter “V”, she/her)

Born with a West Coast heart and East Coast state of mind. 

Earning my degree in Hospitality and Business Management has created the foundation in my approach to work. I have a natural knack to be hospitable which has enabled me to foster genuine partnerships with clients and candidates, while my operational side is continuously problem solving and building business infrastructure for early-stage companies. This has landed me in joining starting teams at Blu Bungalow (event planning), Tastemaker (interior design), and Managed by Q (office management platform), amongst other mid-stage startups such as The Wing (female-focused co-working space). Although my job titles in event planning, recruitment, account management, and project management may differ, I’ve been able to translate the same skills across various roles and businesses seamlessly. Developing long-term client partnerships, understanding customer needs, solving operational inefficiencies, and collaborating with multiple stakeholders, all while providing best-in-class service are areas I strive in. To learn more about my experience, head over to my LinkedIn or feel free to reach out via email.

In addition to helping small brands grow, I moonlight as a wedding planner, floral assistant (amateur designer), and beadwork artist (Beaded Bodega) as my creative outlet. Much like creating delightful user and candidate experiences, I am also passionate about creating visually appealing memorable personal experiences through event planning and art.  

When I’m not in the office, I love experiencing local flavors of whatever city I’m in (pre-COVID days) and immersing myself in different cultures. I’m endlessly inspired by nature and love a good adventure with coffee and disposable camera in hand.
