Originally from the Midwest, I have lived and worked the Metro DC area for the past eleven years. I began my career in the hotel industry and from there transitioned to the planner side of the events sphere. Learning the ins and outs of the hospitality industry from the hotel operations perspective was an invaluable experience. It taught me the key to any successful event is in the detailed communication of your vision. Equally important, it encouraged patience, created a platform to develop critical customer service skills and also solidified for me, that I had chosen the correct career path.

Two years later, I earned my CMP and began working as the Meetings and Special Events Manager for the National Association of Convenience Stores where i was able to hone my skills developing a wide range of events from annual trade shows, VIP special events, galas, conferences, and exclusive global retreats for our board of directors and top level membership.

Currently, I serve as the Director of Creative for Hello! Washington D.C. the leader in Destination Management. I use innovative event design to communicate to my clients by designing unique one of a kind experiences to meet their goals. I strive to create a moment in time that will live on in memory past the closing remarks. I am fiercely passionate about creative table décor. You might ay linen selection is my love language. I consider custom place cards to be my trademark and nothing is more satisfying than watching my initial vision materialize before my eyes.
