What’s your relationship to Metro EDGE and/or Emerge Summit? I first joined Metro EDGE in 2015 and was excited to meet other young professionals with a similar love for Sacramento.  As life got busier, my time with Metro EDGE became more limited but I am excited to contribute to the 2019 Emerge Summit by providing fun activations!

What do you love about Sacramento? I love how much we all love supporting local!

Why would you recommend the Emerge Summit?  The Summit is a great way to meet other young professionals with similar interests.

How have you made your mark on Sacramento? My current role is new but as the Events Manager for the Downtown Sacramento Partnership I was a part of the team that brought Sacramento some of the longest, most loved events: Concerts in the Park, the Downtown Ice Rink, and the Downtown Farmers’ Markets.

One thing that people would be surprised to know about you? I’ve met Ed Shareen!
