ABOUT ME:

With over 25 years of experience in event planning and a Master's degree in Human Resource Development, I’ve built my small business on a foundation of creativity, organization, and a deep love for bringing people together. My corporate career began by planning national tradeshows, and sales team meetings. And grew to managing a busy conference center and later managing the Information Desk for the renowned Bead & Button Show, which welcomed nearly 10,000 attendees annually. I had the privilege of supporting countless professionals and guests along the way.

Inspired by the power of meaningful experiences, I eventually launched my own event planning business to focus on more personalized, community-centered gatherings and retreats. My friends call me “The Gatherer”. One of my proudest accomplishments has been creating a vibrant outdoor artisan market featuring over 40 artists, live music, and local food trucks—a true celebration of creativity and connection. Today it has come to be known as the Honeybee Market.

Curating events that are thoughtful, welcoming, and memorable—whether it's a cozy workshop, a community market, or a intimate women’s conference, I believe the best events are the ones that feel effortless for guests and unforgettable for everyone involved.
