— About Me

Hi, I'm Kait.

Executive event producer, Scranton export, and the reason your next Mexico City activation doesn't have to start from zero.

Originally from Scranton, PA (go Birds), I lived in NYC and Chicago before relocating to Mexico City at the end of 2022. I started working in Mexico back in 2017, producing music festivals — long before I called it home. That's when I fell for the culture, the climate, the people, and, obviously, the food.

Moving countries as a freelance executive producer was a risk. It paid off. My workload grew, and so did my quality of life — more time with my dogs, actual Spanish lessons, and saying yes to last-minute Wednesday dinners

By mid-2025, after fielding countless emails asking how to produce events in Mexico City, the gap was obvious: international teams needed someone in between — local resources, vendor relationships, and cultural fluency — without flying a whole team down to figure it out from scratch.

The differences between Mexican and American work culture are significant, and navigating them is usually the hardest part of the job. Once you understand that landscape, knowing which vendors to trust is next — and I've already done that work.

That's Kalavera. I've built strong relationships with some of the best vendors in Mexico City — across audio/visual, fabrication, catering, staffing, marketing, and production. Instead of flying in a team from abroad, working with Kalavera Events Kollective gives you direct access to top-tier local talent, so your event is executed seamlessly and authentically, right here in Mexico.
