But Seriously: As the Event Manager at Fast Forward Event Productions, Agagas manages event operations and logistics for all of the agency productions across the board. Whether strategizing with client events, managing exhibitor relations for Editor Showcase, working with multiple vendors venues and activation strategies for sponsorships in the San Diego Bay Wine & Food Festival, Agagas' creative thinking and organizational skills are a key agency asset. A natural-born multi-tasker and perfectionist, Agagas gets her energy from having a job that is constantly changing and keeping her on her toes. Her previous experience in wedding coordination and bachelors degree in event management means Agagas also understands what it means to be a professional and to stay focused under pressure. She is obsessed with details and believes that the details are what set apart ordinary events from extraordinary events. Agagas also earned her Intermediate Certificate in Wine and Spirits from the Wine & Spirits Educational Trust.
