Where Discipline Meets Delight: Your Event Strategist

Growing up in a small town in Illinois, I was surrounded by open skies, cornfields, and a community that believed in lending a hand and telling great stories. Those early years taught me the beauty of connection—whether it was neighbors gathering for a cookout or a small-town festival where everyone came together to celebrate. It’s no wonder I developed a love for bringing people together and creating experiences that leave lasting memories.

After graduating from the University of Illinois with a degree in Political Science, I decided to trade the quiet Midwest for something more adventurous. That’s how I found myself stepping into the world of the Marine Corps, where I spent 18 incredible years serving as a leader, planner, and mentor. From the sandy deserts to bustling cities, I had the opportunity to work with extraordinary people, solve big challenges, and learn how to think on my feet. Leading teams and orchestrating complex operations taught me the importance of organization, creativity, and staying calm under pressure—all skills that I bring to the table today.

Now, I’ve embarked on a new journey as an Event Experience Manager. While the uniform may be different, my mission remains the same: to listen, connect, and create. I believe that every event begins with understanding the people behind it. I take the time to truly listen to my clients, learn their vision, and understand what matters most to them. From there, I craft thoughtful, creative proposals that bring their ideas to life in ways they never imagined. Whether it’s a corporate gathering, an intimate celebration, or a community event, I pour my heart into every detail, ensuring the experience is not only seamless but also deeply personal and memorable.

Being personable and approachable is at the core of who I am, and I love forming connections that go beyond just business. For me, it’s about creating moments that inspire joy and leave lasting impressions—not just for the guests but for the clients themselves. Together, we’ll make your event one to remember!
