I’ve spent most of my career in management or running my own businesses: real estate, tanning salons and day spa, even a floor covering store. But no matter what season of life I was in, you could always find me in my free time doing one thing: planning the next celebration.

​

From birthdays and Christmas mornings to first-day-of-school surprises, school parties, bridal and baby showers—even personalized daily advent gifts for grandparents—I find so much joy in making people feel special and seen. Hosting has always been my love language.

​

I’m a proud mom to two daughters—25 years apart! My youngest, who is primarily homeschooled, keeps my days full of creativity and curiosity. Over the years, we’ve celebrated birthdays with themes ranging from Barbie to (believe it or not) leaf blowers. I truly believe I can turn any theme into a party worth remembering.
