Event Planning is my biggest passion. I’m incredibly proud to be a part of this industry, filled with innovators, problem-solvers, Type-A, people-first people. We work hard so that others can play hard, learn new skills, meet new people and create change in their corners of the world.

We rarely are the recipients of public praise, so when I received an email last week stating that I was named one of 50 Top Voices in Events to Pay Attention To by Gather Voices, I was elated. When I examined my fellow ‘classmates,’ I could not believe I was considered among these true powerhouses in the Event Planning and Hospitality world!

After two decades in the absolute best career ever, I remain so incredibly grateful to do what I do every day, not to mention extremely humbled to be considered as a peer of these thought leaders, innovators and experts.
