As a California girl turned Southern-Texan, I decided to jump start my hospitality career in the fast-paced N.Y.C. I ended up having a 19-year love affair with the service and luxury hospitality industry. Working in hospitality in N.Y.C gave me both high-volume event experience and helped me perfect the art of coordinating and training teams to execute multi-faceted events flawlessly. Love and family brought me back to the Lone Star State.

When I was a new mom, an interesting opportunity presented itself to work at one of Houston’s prominent wedding venues as a planner. My love for hospitality and working with people was reignited; creating a celebration to honor two individuals' love story brings me such immense joy. I thrive in creative and collaborative environments – and always think outside the box for inspiration for every event (even having done hundreds of events). I seek a deeper understanding of the love story to aid me in creating a day that truly mirrors the uniqueness of the couple and exceeds all expectations.

What separates me from the hundreds of talented wedding planners in Houston is that I am a straight-forward New Yorker combined with a well-mannered Texan. Couples seeking breathtakingly refreshing creativity and honesty in a wedding planner can look no further.
