about
ME

about
YOU

With a background in business administration and marketing, my career started as the marketing director for a community non-profit organization. I then worked with an estate planning marketing company in Washington State before relocating to California. Seeking new challenges and creative outlets, I started and operated a wedding floral design business for over 16 years, collaborating with more than 600 brides.

​

In 2013, I was approached by a development partnership to serve as their exclusive consultant, where I focused on developing and marketing the event program at a new venue. In 2018, I transitioned to freelance consulting and have since accumulated over 25 years of experience in the wedding and event industry.

​

I am motivated by the opportunity to help business owners recognize growth possibilities by creating and implementing effective plans and achieving results. My passion lies in building, designing, creating, and problem solving. I thrive in environments that allow for adaptation and innovation.

​

In 2020, during COVID, I enrolled in a class at Yale University - The Science of Wellness. Recognizing the toll that entrepreneurial endeavors take on business owners. I continue to expand my knowledge and follow my interests in entrepreneurial wellness. 

​

Privately, I photograph beauty, travel, write, and garden - fully partaking of life on the Central Coast of California. Yoga is my grounding, stargazing is my inspiration, and the beach is my solace. 

You are driven by the potential for what your business can become. With a clear vision and passion for your goals, you recognize that you need expertise to effectively deliver your products or services to the marketplace and gain visibility. Although your objectives are well-defined, you may require marketing knowledge, including strategies, tools, and promotional material, to launch new projects, manage digital marketing efforts, oversee social media, build a website, or create marketing collateral that conveys your message to the right audience.

​

Your time is limited, and you focus primarily on the operational aspects of your small business. You're not yet ready to hire an in-house marketing director. Instead, you appreciate the expertise of someone with extensive real-world experience who is eager to help grow your brand alongside you.

You are passionate about your work and committed to excellence. You are prepared to expand your business and excited to elevate your efforts to the next level.
