The CORE: Club celebrates itself as an ideology first, private club. It opened its doors in 2005 as one of the first private membership clubs in NYC run by a woman. As a club for "unlike-minded" people to come together, CORE: features two restaurants run by a 3-star Michelin Chef, a gym, an exclusive Spa, and 10 gorgeous suites.As a Junior Event Manager, I oversaw the production of private events for CORE: members and supported the club's Marketing Team as they created interesting cultural programming.

About Me
Hello! I’m Ella (She/They)
I’m an experiential producer, storyteller, and lifelong creator from New York City. My creative journey started early—selling abstract finger paintings at five, choreographing hip-hop routines at fifteen, and writing poetry that I continue to this day. Growing up in a city bursting with art and performance fueled my love for immersive storytelling and hands-on creativity.That passion crystallized during an internship at Sleep No More, where I worked alongside stage managers for over 400 performances. It was there that I fell in love with live experiences—and committed to a career in all things experiential.At Carnegie Mellon University, I studied Stage & Production Management, honing my craft on more than ten productions including Cabaret, Hair, and The Light in the Piazza. After graduation, I joined Deeplocal, a creative technology agency, producing activations for brands like Meta, Shopify, and Netflix.To broaden my perspective, I completed a Fulbright grant in Budapest, teaching English at Károli Gáspár University. Living abroad strengthened my communication skills, adaptability, and public speaking—while feeding my love of travel, poetry, and museum-hopping.Back in New York, I joined GRADIENT Experience, a luxury-focused creative agency, producing high-end activations for clients like Shiseido Americas, Audemars Piguet, and LVMH. I then moved in-house to CORE: Club, where on a lean three-person team I produced over 100 private events in just three months. Most recently, at Pickle Hospitality, I’ve been leading catering and offsite event operations across multiple locations, managing budgets, staffing, and logistics for events of up to 300 guests.Across commercial activations, luxury brand experiences, and large-scale experiential campaigns, I bring precision, creativity, and warmth to every project. I love turning bold ideas into immersive, unforgettable moments—and I’m always seeking the next challenge where storytelling, production, and human connection collide.
Pictures will never fully capture the depth of my time at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Drama. It was here that I built my foundation in logistics and personnel management. From my very first year, I immersed myself in every production’s labor force, gaining hands-on experience that shaped my understanding of live performance. By senior year, I was part of a filmed, abbreviated production of Hair (pictured below), a rock musical that pushed creative boundaries and further honed my skills.What set CMU’s School of Drama apart is its unique operation as a LORT (League of Resident Theatres) model with a rigorous 24-show season. Each student was assigned to specific productions throughout the year, with job roles tailored to their majors. As a Stage & Production Management student, I began as an Assistant Stage Manager or Assistant Production Manager during my sophomore and junior years. By junior and senior year, after mentoring from experienced peers and growing into the roles, I transitioned into leadership positions as a full Stage or Production Manager.The program not only taught me practical skills but also encouraged self-awareness—helping me discover what I excelled at and where I could improve. CMU’s immersive, high-intensity environment was the perfect training ground. Today, I find it incredibly rewarding to see how those foundational skills translate seamlessly into the fast-paced world of experiential event production.

Left Photograph Below: Marisol
Right Photograph Below: Light in the PiazzaAs a Stage Manager, my primary responsibility was to execute the director’s artistic vision through comprehensive coordination of all elements impacting the audience’s experience. Serving as Assistant Stage Manager, I operated backstage with technical crews exceeding 15 personnel, managing logistics for costumes, lighting cues, and sound playback. Stage Management maintains constant presence during performances, either backstage or in the control booth, where the Stage Manager calls the show. Positioned in the booth, the Stage Manager functions as a live production coordinator, directing technical cues via intercom and radio systems to synchronize lighting, sound, and stage mechanics—including complex scene shifts or rigging operations.In the role of Production Manager, I assumed full oversight of the production’s lifecycle, integrating departmental workflows from pre-production through strike. This encompassed managing interdepartmental communication to align scenic, lighting, sound, and costume design within the production’s creative and financial parameters. I was responsible for detailed budget tracking, scheduling load-in and strike activities, and ensuring all procedures adhered to OSHA safety regulations and union contracts. The Production Manager’s role required strategic planning and operational management to mitigate risk, optimize resources, and maintain production timelines.


While at Gradient, I had the opportunity to coordinate Shiseido’s North American Holiday Party for 2023, hosting over 600 employees at the immersive Hall De Lumières in NYC. The goal was to create an elevated guest experience with interactive and memorable moments throughout the evening. We designed and executed three DIY stations for guests to enjoy: a ‘Sparkle and Shine’ accessory bar, a custom dry floral bouquet station, and a boomerang photo booth offering both physical prints and digital takeaways. These engaging activations were paired with a DJ, a semi-interactive ice dance performance, and dynamic projection mapping enveloping the venue.

Opportunity
Deliver a seamless, entertaining, and festive holiday event for a large corporate audience with diverse tastes and expectations.My Role
I served as a producer on the event, partnering closely with the creative team to bring multiple interactive DIY stations from concept through execution. I trained, managed, and scheduled a team of 10+ Brand Ambassadors to ensure consistent guest engagement across all touchpoints. I coordinated directly with performers and an external creative director to produce and manage the ice dance performance, overseeing rehearsals, timing, and on-site execution.In addition, I led sourcing efforts and managed all AVL (audio, video, lighting), rentals, and performance logistics—ensuring seamless technical execution and smooth transitions throughout the event.Outcome
The event drew a total of 554 guests, with the Shiseido team extremely pleased with the seamless execution and attention to detail. Notably, the ‘Sparkle and Shine’ station featured 350 accessories that were fully utilized with zero waste, reflecting strong guest engagement. Though the event was internal with limited formal metrics, the production team received glowing feedback on the overall guest experience.

In an unexpected and surreal chapter of my life, I was honored to receive a Fulbright Scholarship to teach English in Budapest, Hungary. I relocated there in September 2022, eager to embrace the chance to explore Europe during my early 20s—an opportunity my Carnegie Mellon program didn’t offer through study abroad.As an English Teaching Assistant at Karoli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church, I designed and taught two original American Literature courses. Over the course of nine months, I delivered around 80 presentations across six different cities, connecting with more than 2,400 students. Additionally, I mentored aspiring writers through monthly creative writing workshops, fostering their confidence and skills.This experience was profoundly rewarding, allowing me to grow as an educator and deeply engage with diverse communities while promoting cross-cultural understanding.

Original Literature Courses:
An American Dream course through the lens of Plays: This course was centred on two different plays: Death of a Salesman (Arthur Miller) & The Best We Could: A Family Tragedy (Emily Feldman). The focus on this course was to understand the American Dream interpreted through these works and the common themes.
An American Poetry course through queer poets & poets of color (1880-2019): This course centered on 6 poets: Frank O'hara, Gwendolyn Brooks, Claude Mckay, Robert Hayden, Mary Oliver, and Allen Ginsberg. For each poet the students learned about, they had to imitate their poetic style/voice.
Original Presentations:
American Films: From 1940s-Present, movies you should watch & why.
Procrastination: Why you can't manage your time, and the importance of learning how to manage your time.

In celebration of 15 years since the opening of the High Line’s first section in 2009, we partnered with Ruinart and Friends of the High Line to create a unique and elegant experience that brought extra sparkle to this milestone. From late June through mid-July, we transformed a portion of Chelsea Market Passage at 15th Street into the Conversations with Nature: High Line Anniversary Lounge. This chic lounge invited visitors to relax, soak in the park’s beauty, and celebrate with a glass of Ruinart champagne. More than just a lounge, the space offered an immersive, educational experience highlighting the shared dedication of Ruinart and the High Line to biodiversity and sustainability.

Opportunity
This project was 2-fold. The night before, we transformed the Chelsea Passage to celebrate the longstanding partnership between Friends of the High Line and the Ruinart team. All photos with high-boys are from that evening's celebration (before the Lounge was officially open). The second portion of this project was the execution of an 18-day living lounge.My Role
I co-produced this project during my time at Gradient, supporting the activation from pre-production through live execution. In pre-production, I led sourcing and managed all floral elements, coordinating with vendors to ensure the design aligned with both Ruinart’s brand ethos and the unique constraints of the High Line environment.Once the activation was live, I served as the sole on-site producer for the full 18-day run. I acted as the primary point of contact for the client, addressed and resolved real-time feedback and issues as they arose, and conducted daily site visits to ensure the lounge was maintained to visual, operational, and brand standards. This included hands-on problem solving, coordination with partners and stakeholders, and proactive maintenance planning to ensure a consistent guest experience throughout the duration of the installation.Outcome
From a successful opening celebration through 18 days of lounge furniture thriving on the High Line, this was an amazingly positive collaboration between Gradient, Ruinart, and the Friends of the High Line.
