Based in Santa Cruz, California, Lissi Knell is an Event Manager who brings a natural passion for planning and connection to her role. After transitioning from a career in education two years ago, she quickly built experience across a wide range of events, including company groundbreakings, academic and corporate conferences, team trainings, and both community engagement and corporate networking events. Known as the go-to planner in her social circles, Lissi thrives on collaborating with clients and colleagues to create thoughtful experiences that foster meaningful connections.

What Lissi loves most about events is witnessing moments that spark connection and inspiration, whether it’s two people meeting for the first time and forming a genuine connection that grows into lasting community, or a lightbulb going off as a new idea takes shape and continues to resonate long after the event ends.

Outside of work, you can find her swimming in the pool and ocean or enjoying her favorite Mexican food.
