With 15 years of experience in events and entertainment, I’ve had the privilege of working on iconic festivals like Outside Lands, Life is Beautiful, and Bonnaroo. I’ve managed relationships with high-profile clients such as Google, Verizon Media, and Dropbox — honing my expertise in event operations, client management, and building efficient systems and processes.
For the past 7 years, I’ve successfully managed my own freelance business, and have a reputation for organization, streamlining workflows, and leaving every project better than I found it.
I’m currently seeking opportunities in festival and event operations where I can partner with a strong team and make a lasting impact.

“Summer is a critical part of our event team. Her expertise in creating systems and policies that both effectively communicate with staff and allow us to reconcile efficiently is un-paralleled in this industry. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a true professional that is a joy to work with.”
✨ Brynn H, Superfly & Outside Lands Music Festival
“Thank you so much for all of your strategic thinking and hard work wrangling this social campaign. It was an event of firsts for us and having you as the calm, cool, and collected driver of our social execution was a HUGE advantage. It was fun, energetic, and felt BIG, and given the timeline and being virtual, that is difficult to do.”
✨ Kevin S, Verizon Media (Yahoo Build it Forward)
"Summer was a pleasure to work with on our 3-day music festival project. Communication, organization, and process creation are some of her clear strengths. Summer was able to organize an incredible amount of information from multiple sources into a single database and create a process for the management of travel and hotel stays for hundreds of festival personnel. This process captured everything from intake, booking, and changes, to final billing and settlement. Summer was also always timely and responsive to inquiries and developing needs in a very demanding environment. She was a great asset to our internal personnel and an excellent representative of our organization externally as well. We now have a solid procedural foundation for the future and a complete record of the actual results for historical reference. Our team was very impressed by her professional demeanor and skillful execution and we look forward to working together in the future."
