Experience

EDUCATION

I earned my BFA from the renowned Parsons School of Design in New York City and devoted over a decade as a fashion designer for prominent Fortune 500 companies. After transitioning to events, I established my own luxury event design firm in San Diego overseeing multimillion-dollar budgets, collaborating with VIPs, booking national talent, and orchestrating events ranging from intimate gatherings to thousands of guests.

Recently, I served as the Senior Director of Corporate Events for a leading healthcare corporation, where I produced 160 events annually while helping to maintain the corporation's award-winning culture. My strength lies in my natural eye for elegance and style, meticulous organization, and my passion for celebrating diversity and foreign cultures.

PERSONAL TRAVEL

My creative work seamlessly intertwines with my own travel journeys. I’ve traveled to 5 continents, 30 countries, 36 US states, and lived in Paris, NYC, and New Zealand. I’ve taken two year-long travel sabbaticals giving me experience and personal insights into a variety of global destinations and properties worldwide.

I believe that one lifetime hardly seems long enough to fully enjoy all the beauty and diverse cultures our planet has to offer!

HONORS & SERVICE

I was honored by being nominated for San Diego Magazine’s “Women Who Move the City,” and my events have been featured in San Diego Magazine, Ranch & Coast, Riviera/Modern Luxury Magazine, Fine Magazine, UT San Diego, San Diego Business Journal, and Giving Back Magazine. My dedication to the arts extends to contributing on committees for cultural institutions such as La Jolla Playhouse and the Mingei International Museum in San Diego.
