About me
I am proud to be an Alumni of San Diego State University, where I graduated in 2019 with a degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management with an emphasis in Meetings & Events. During that time, I gained experience through volunteering for various types of events and through multiple hotel internships/jobs. These hotel jobs gave me some great perspective on the hotel side of events (sales, banquet setup, group reservations, contracts, and more), contributing to the wholehearted approach I use to plan each event today.
​
"I believe that events can be powerful. They can bring people together. They can leave an impression. They can start movements and create change. They can make statements. And they can be used to celebrate all of life's little moments- from beginning to end. And I think that is truly beautiful."
I have a passion for bringing people together, and I think that shows in the quality of my work. Find out more about how my unique experiences make me the best-positioned to plan your next big event...
