Justine Nevarez is the Community Outreach & Events Manager at the DLBA. After moving to Long Beach for college (Go Beach!), she fell in love with the LBC and planted roots here. Nevarez has worked in a variety of industries, but her time as Manager and Event Coordinator at L’Opera Ristorante for nearly 10 years was most influential. Because of her long history in DTLB, she has developed relationships with all types of businesses (local and from afar, thanks to the LB Convention Center) and feels most at home on Pine Avenue. Currently, you will find Nevarez riding bikes around town, traveling, enjoying all the amazing restaurants and live music Long Beach has to offer, and spinning records at home with her kittens, Jolie and Ani.
