For my senior seminar course, I collaborated with a team of six students to plan, organize, and execute a Battle of the Bands event at AMB designed to benefit and engage the local community. This project required us to develop a clear event vision, divide responsibilities, and work collectively to bring the concept from initial planning to full execution.

In this role, I contributed to key aspects of event planning, including coordinating logistics, scheduling performance times, and assisting with venue arrangements. I also supported outreach efforts to recruit participating bands and helped manage communication to ensure all performers were informed and prepared for the event.

Additionally, I assisted with on-site event coordination, helping to manage setup, flow of performances, and overall organization during the event. This experience strengthened my teamwork, communication, and project management skills while giving me hands-on experience in large-scale event planning and execution.
