What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote or hybrid opportunities where I can be an organized, proactive partner—owning calendars, event logistics, and operations. I want roles that value stakeholder communication, process improvement, and polished execution.

I’m an entrepreneur and event planning professional with 10+ years of experience supporting remote and in-person organizations. I combine relationship management with tight execution to keep complex schedules, stakeholders, and logistics running smoothly.

As a Founder & Wedding Planner, I manage end-to-end wedding planning and production—from intimate gatherings to large-scale celebrations. I build detailed timelines and budgets, negotiate vendor contracts, coordinate walkthroughs and rehearsals, and lead event-day setup, execution, and breakdown while maintaining high client satisfaction.

I also support growth and operations across marketing and executive environments. Through contract roles, I help develop and execute marketing campaigns, manage calendars and deliverables, and track performance metrics—while strengthening cross-functional collaboration and customer communication.

In executive and business operations roles, I coordinate high-stakes event logistics, manage contracts and documentation, and implement organizational systems that improve efficiency. My background includes talent acquisition support and certifications in monday.com, Asana, and precise event timeline development, ensuring dependable, detail-driven outcomes.
