At nineteen years old, I created the first ever night flea market called the Backyard Flea in Ithaca, NY.

The Backyard Flea was a vintage night market that took place every Wednesday with over twenty vendors, food trucks, local DJ's and a outdoor bar. This project was meant to bring the community together which is what exactly happened. I managed all parts of the brand by leading strategy to securing vendor partnerships. My responsibilities included vendor negotiations, event opporations, website development, project management, digital marketing, advertising, public relations tactics, and job recruitment. With over two thousand instagram followers in just a few months, the Backyard Flea became one of the most talked about events in the Ithaca area.
