ADRIA MOSKOWITZ
Operations Director
Adria M. Moskowitz aka Adria the Juggler is the Director of Operations. She performs at Renaissance and Medieval Faires, fairs, OddMall, and community events throughout the Pacific Northwest. She's also the Entertainment Director for Shrewsbury Renaissance Faire in OR. Surprisingly, she is not specifically a Harry Potter fan. When people ask her "house" she tells them Puffinstuff.
"When we are children, the world is full of magic. As we get older we are carefully taught that magic doesn't exist and how we have to be responsible in a world full of rules, taxes, bills, anger, sickness and pain. These events give us a place where we're given permission to believe in magic again. These are places where our world can be full of mystery and wonder, magic and splendor. They give us the strength and sanity to be able to handle real life."
She guesses she might be a Hufflepuff, after all, in the Potter Universe.BRANDI
TORRES
Marketing Director
Brandi Torres is the Marketing Director aka Muggle & Wizard Bridge Liaison! She is a Proud Gryffindor (and a Leo)! She first got into the books as a kid. She came from a small town and there was a lot of push back on the stories, so naturally, she had to read them! She was instantly hooked to the world it transported her to. She is the same age group as the cast from the film so it very much felt like a story for her generation.
She is most excited to be a part of this magical event at its new intended location! Her nerd self is also excited to see the new website as it comes to life! She is an avid gardener and artist, as well as a mom to a 4 year old, step mom to a 10 and 12 year old, and a full time caregiver. It's a busy life, but who has time to be bored? Not this girl!CASSANDRA DELGADO
Finance Director
Meet Cassandra Delgado, Director of Finance and a proud Gryffindor. She began her journey at Hogwarts as a teenager, hungrily devouring the pages as soon as she could get her hands on the latest tale. Books can bring such magic and wonder to our lives, but she has yet to find another one that floats a candle to the Harry Potter series. Cassandra thought she was the biggest Harry Potter fan, until she joined the team! She love the magic of the wizarding world and escape to it as often as she can (when she is not sorting sickles and knuts). To have a team of people that enjoys her fantasy as much as she does is wonderful. Cassandra is excited for us to realize our vision and watch Hogwarts take root in Tacoma.
