About

For the past 23 years I have honed my event planning skills at Northwest non-profit organizations in both Seattle and Portland. By working closely with vendors to devise creative solutions within a budget, my goal is to execute exceptional events that meet objectives and exceed sponsor and attendee expectations – all with seeming ease and efficiency. The passion I show in my work also translates into monthly dinner parties my family throws in our home, and reflects an authentic desire to make guests feel comfortable, appreciated and welcomed.
