I am an all-around lover of keeping things organized; a creative person who loves trying new things and expressing myself through design, clothing, and makeup.
I am dedicated to providing the absolute highest quality of service and experience to my clients and their families. My passions include- getting outdoors to explore, spending quality time with my friends & family, and attempting to figure out the answer to all of life’s problems (through intricate puzzles and escape rooms of course).

I absolutely live and breathe personal connection and event curation. I feel the best way to share life experiences and truly make a difference in someone’s life takes place in your first interaction with someone else.
My happiness Is found through business building, creative expression and exploring the unknown. I am passionate about your experience from beginning to end feeling unique and memorable.
My event expertise is in curating atmosphere, food & beverage, and guest experience. I am a lover of sharing wine with friends, dancing, and audiobooks (admittedly…reality television as well)
