My Story

My career kicked off with a bang as I landed the role as Trip Coordinator in The White House for President George H.W. Bush.  This position was instrumental in learning and mastering attention to detail, service, and confidentiality, as well as working alongside the best in the field.  The White House was only the beginning as I went on to serve at The Heritage Foundation, Hillwood, and The Staubach Company planning and executing top-tier corporate events. Working with these prestigious companies, I gained invaluable experience in project management, problem solving, planning, execution, organization, and budgets.  Eventually, a client suggested I should start my own company, and never one to shy away from a challenge, I was off on a new adventure.

And then, a curveball…

After many years of successfully planning and executing everything from corporate meetings and client appreciation events, to festivals and galas, both nationally and internationally, I was faced with a new reality when COVID hit.  People were no longer planning conferences, client events…or gatherings of any kind for that matter…so I took the opportunity to pivot to another great passion of mine, organization.  Applying much of the same skillset that I employ in event management, I was invited into people’s homes and businesses to clear the clutter, organize, and space plan, as well as execute long-distance moves.  It is so rewarding to help others find more peace and order at home.  As the world moved away from social distancing and the hospitality industry returned, I found myself excelling in both passions, managing events as well as organizing.  It’s all about offering the highest level of personal service…with kindness and a smile.

Fun Facts

I’ve been an avid equestrian my entire life and I’ve competed at the National level.

When I’m not working, you’ll most likely find me at the barn riding as much as I can.

I am a frequent traveler, and I’ve traveled the world both personally & professionally. Africa is on my bucket list!

I volunteer for an organization called ManeGait that’s a therapeutic riding and brain center for children and adults with disabilities.
