What do you do?
I am the Events Director for the Downtown Bellingham Partnership. We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to furthering the vibrancy and growth of our downtown. I have had the pleasure of being a part of this blooming organization for almost ten years, and I have absolutely loved playing a role in its story. My job is to produce big community celebrations! Some of our most popular events include Downtown Sounds, First Friday Art Walks, Spring and Holiday Wine Walks, the Downtown Trick-or-Treat and Downtown's Tree Lighting Ceremony. I've also been a bartender at Bayou on Bay for almost ten years, however I only muddle mojitos on Tuesdays these days. Bayou holds a special place in my heart and I have been so fortunate to cross paths with countless amazing people while standing behind that bar.
What do you love about this area?
The daily feeling of community, love and comradery; being surrounded by passionate, thoughtful, hard-working people who strive to make Bellingham the best place to be.
