As a military brat, I had the privilege of calling many places home during my formative years, but it was love that finally anchored me in Austin over ten years ago. After marrying a Texan, this vibrant city quickly captured my heart with its eclectic vibes, and now I’m thrilled to call it my forever home.
I find my joy in the creative freedom that event planning allows me to express. It’s where I get to transform spaces, bring ideas and dreams to life, and craft unforgettable experiences.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Growing up as a military brat came with its own set of challenges, but it also shaped me in ways I wouldn’t trade for anything. Constantly moving from place to place meant I had to adapt quickly; new schools, new friends, and new environments became the norm. While it wasn’t always easy, it gave me the ability to appreciate a vast array of cultures and backgrounds of people. I learned how to connect with others from all walks of life, which has been invaluable in everything I do.
Sports became my anchor through all the transitions. Volleyball, basketball, and track kept me grounded, teaching me discipline, teamwork, and perseverance. No matter where I moved, stepping onto the court or track gave me a sense of belonging. Through hard work and determination, I was able to reach the collegiate level in volleyball, proving to myself that resilience and dedication can open doors.
One of the most defining experiences of my journey was my summer job at Army Community Services in Germany. This wasn’t just another job, it was where I discovered my passion for event planning. Seeing how events and outings were organized for military families, I realized how impactful well-planned experiences could be. I fell in love with the process, from brainstorming ideas to executing events that brought people together.
Alongside my love for event planning, I pursued a college degree in science, which led to a career in microbiology and data science. This background sharpened my analytical and logistical skills, which now play a huge role in how I approach event planning. I thrive on organization, strategy, and efficiency, ensuring every detail is accounted for. But what truly makes my events stand out is my unique, creative, and colorful flair, I love adding those unexpected, vibrant touches that bring an experience to life.
Now, I’m channeling all of these experiences into building my own event planning business. The adaptability I gained from my military upbringing, the teamwork and perseverance from my athletic career, the structured mindset from my science background, and the passion sparked during my time at Army Community Services all come together in this new chapter. Every challenge I faced along the way has prepared me for this journey, and I’m excited to create meaningful and unforgettable experiences for others.
