I've always been drawn to moments that bring people together. Early on, I realized that events have the power to create lasting memories, and I wanted to be the person behind that magic. With a background in communication and event planning, it felt natural to pursue a career where I could blend creativity, organization, and hospitality.
I've been in the events industry for over a decade now, and it's truly where I feel at home. From weddings to corporate gatherings to private dinners, I've worn many hats and loved every phase of the journey.
It's the human connection for me. I love watching an idea evolve into a meaningful experience, and there's nothing better than seeing a client's face light up when everything comes together. Every detail matters and I enjoy making each event feel intentional and unforgettable.
I have a soft spot for anything wedding related. In years prior I strictly planned weddings, and with the venues I am with now I get to be a part of rehearsal dinners, proposals, welcome parties, and after parties, which are so much fun to me.
I always try to think one step ahead, whether it's prepping for dietary needs, timing the flow of the event just right, or ensuring staff is briefed with intention. Guest comfort is my priority, and I want every person to leave feeling cared for and remembered.
