Our Team
Your secret muscle, and your new best friends.
Meera Bhardwaj
Event Producer & Strategy Lead
Meera was invited to join Synchronicity at its founding in 2018 and has a total of 15 years of experience in event planning and fundraising. Meera enjoys spending time with Synchronicity clients, capturing and articulating their visions. She’s so proud and happy when Synchronicity clients exceed their previous fundraising! Meera came to event planning out of a career in political campaigns and organizing. She has made it 77% of the way through cooking all the recipes in Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi's cookbook Jerusalem. Spreadsheet wizard, sharp wit, not afraid to talk technology or politics. As a spice, she would definitely be cardamom.
Rocio Miranda
Event Producer
Rocio was recruited to join Synchronicity at its founding in 2018 and has a total of 11 years of experience in event production. Rocio feels hopeful and happy when communities come together to enjoy and support each other. Rocio has worked in event management from the catering point of view and the venue point of view, and loves her role as a collaborator and advocate for Synchronicity’s clients. She lives for that moment when her client arrives on event day and gives a sigh of happiness because they know their event will be great! Indoor plant collector, outdoor adventurer, creates new things out of old things. She images herself as chimichurri sauce; herbaceous and citrusy with a subtle spicy kick.
Trina L. Baker
Event Producer
Trina joined Synchronicity in 2024, and has a total of 10 years experience in event production. A proud native of the Pacific Northwest, Trina has extensive nonprofit sector experience in grassroots organizing and community outreach events. Passionate about logistics and deadlines, she thrives in the fast-paced, meticulous flow of event days. Adventurous and outdoorsy, her motto is 'Dolce far niente' ('The Sweetness of Doing Nothing') —a reminder to savor life’s simple moments. As a spice, Trina is cinnamon, bringing harmony to both simple and complex combinations.
Alex Martin
Founder
With a background in performing arts, Alex is outrageously creative, shockingly practical, a designer of meaningful experiences, devoted to collaboration. Endlessly curious, happy hiker and gardening nerd, mother to a wonderful young man. Alex has been planning events for nonprofit orgs since 1998, and founded Synchronicity in 2018. She is a co-founder of Event Fresh Seattle and the Nonprofit Events Mini-Con, and former co-owner at Jubilee Event Engineers. If she were a spice, she might be smoked paprika; earthy and surprising at the same time.
Gabrielle Woods
Production Specialist
Brooklyn-born, with a background in nonprofit and local government work and the arts, Gabrielle is passionate about creating excitement and connection through interactive storytelling and education. She’s drawn to highly pigmented colors, historic urban architecture, and bachata music. Vibrant, kind, creative, collaborative. If she were a spice, she would be fennel seed - bright in flavor and a key ingredient in some of the most delicious and elegant digestifs!
Lovely
de Leon
Assistant
With a background in events and television production, Lovely is excellent at keeping tabs on things, reminding her team, and giving that extra kick of motivation.
Supermom to a special little boy and three beagles. As a spice, she is vanilla: sweet, warm, and uplifting, like the vanilla bean pod that gracefully holds everything together.
Melissa Lowry
Bookkeeper
Melissa is our behind-the-scenes money mover. She enjoys supporting the amazing group of creative individuals that works for Synchronicity. Puzzler, finance mastermind, loves food adventures with her son. As a flavor, Melissa imagines herself as sweet & sour sauce.
