Founder and executive matchmaker at The Agency, creating personalized introductions for clients seeking lasting relationships.

Message

I founded The Agency in 2013 after working as a matchmaker at a large company. I wanted to create a boutique firm offering a highly personalized, invitation-only, and confidential matchmaking service.

At The Agency, I guide clients through the matchmaking process, selecting and introducing compatible matches and providing coaching, feedback, and support. My clients are educated, successful, and busy, and I help them make time to find a lasting relationship.

Before The Agency, I was an Executive Matchmaker at OC Matchmaker, where I facilitated successful marriages. My earlier work included marketing for Social One and casting and talent management across production and entertainment companies.
