Where it all started... 

In 2012, I attended the Hospitality Careers Academy which exposed me the industry of conferencing, events, and weddings. Throughout this program, I job shadowed Ritz Carlton employees, put on an event for Paul Cramer at the Classic Center, and networked with current students, industry professionals, and various vendors in the coordination, floral, catering, and venue businesses. 

Since then, I've always looked for ways to be plugged into this industry whether it was consulting for agritourism businesses, working at Historic Smithonia Farm, or attending conferences related to the industry. My passion for event management paired with my enthusiasm for events is a perfect combination to meet all your event and project needs.
