I am a 14 year veteran of the pop culture convention scene. A mother of three, I was first introduced to the world of cons when my middle daughter developed an obsession with Spiderman. A family visit to Dallas Comic Con resulted in a life changing experience where I finally felt I had found “my people”, a motley crew of individuals that on their own felt they did not belong, but together became united in fandom. This was a truly unexpected discovery, at the age of 39, that started me down the path of convention volunteerism followed by an invitation to work as a paid staff member and independent contractor. Since that first show I have performed in a variety of roles in various pop culture and comic conventions around the nation. From welcoming attendees at the front doors to managing programming I dove headfirst into every opportunity to gain knowledge and positively impact the experience of anyone walking through the doors of a show where I was on staff. My belief is that everyone deserves compassion, kindness and respect. I actively seek out opportunities to encourage others and let others know they are seen, valued and appreciated. My beliefs in my personal life translate into how I run my business, creating a difference that can be felt in each interaction.
“Davina was an important mentor to me when I first began working at pop culture conventions years ago, and I still reach out to her for guidance even today. Her level of focus, dedication, professionalism, and perseverance is something I still aspire to reach. I’ve said that she is ’too good for this world’, but that is only half in jest. She is truly exceptional, and not just in the work she does.”

“I reached out to Illuminating Talent (ne: YAMA TALENT | SSV )for some Strategic Advising for my company Fearsome Figures. I have to say my experience was very positive.
