Prior to Pioneer Events, Sheila worked as an event specialist in the central Marketing & Communications department at the University of Washington. During that time she managed events on behalf of the President's office and for high-level University donors, as well as student & community engagement opportunities. Some of her favorite event planning experiences at UW include: a keynote lecture by former congressman & civil rights activist John Lewis, the UW Rose Bowl tailgate in Pasadena, and the Recognition Gala; a formal evening in the Suzzallo Library.
Sheila currently lives in Tacoma with her roommate, one sweet cat, and way too many plants. Outside of work you may find her walking or running around her neighborhood & local trails, practicing yoga, arranging flowers, hunting for new records, or enjoying good food & drinks with friends.
