How did you get involved in the event industry?: Event planning has always been an interest of mine, and I have consciously woven it into the responsibilities held in my college sorority as well as my finance career over the past 6 years. As the social and networking chairperson of various organizations I have worked for, I have taken the lead in the budgeting, planning, and contract negotiation for numerous events. I have fondly become the go-to person for anything social, community service, or networking related among my colleagues. 

What’s your favorite part of a couple’s wedding day?: By far, my favorite part of a couple’s wedding day is the bride and groom’s first dance as husband and wife. It’s so nice to see a couple truly relax in each others arms and kick off their wedding reception together.

During the winter months, I enjoy DIY renovations around my new home. I also love to travel, photograph, and spend time with my family, friends, and puppy. 

Fun question, if you were stranded on a deserted island and could only bring one thing (not a person) what would it be?: Definitely my Weimaraner puppy, Kobe! He would make a great companion and always keep me smiling!
