Believe it or not, I went to school to be a meteorologist. No kidding.

I love storms and thought studying them would be my life’s passion. Turns out, physics and I are not friends and I ended up with a degree in geography that is not relevant to anything I do. What do I wish I had studied instead? Business. Pure and simple. It would have been a lot more useful in this journey of mine. My journey as a business owner began in the business-to-business world, creating a business with family members to sell new business leads. This little business kick-started my endeavor for business education and started a passion I didn’t know I had.

After 7 years, we decided to move on from that business and I joined the corporate world in IT.
It was fun while it lasted, but let’s be real, that’s a pretty restrictive environment and I was ready for more. I had played around with the idea of wedding planning for years and finally took the leap in 2005. I started my business in the wedding and events industry to serve couples getting married and help guide them through the crazy wedding world. I have thrived on managing all the intricate details that make an event successful and more so, helping people reach their dreams. It’s all about the details, but also keeping them and their personalities and values in mind.

That’s what I do when I talk to other business owners too. You see, small business ownership can be lonely. In my 18 years in the wedding and events industry, I’ve worked with and spoken to many, many business owners and we’ve collaborated along the way. Supporting each other through advice, education and helping each other accomplish our goals. It’s awesome to see each other succeed and I love it. I’m also an education junkie. I love staying current with the latest trends, strategies, and tools when it comes to business systems and making it all work to deliver amazing services to my clients. I love attending webinars, reading books, and going to conferences, all in my quest to know more. This knowledge not only benefits my company, but it’s what I use when I’m working with you in your company.

This is where we talk about my direct yet supportive approach. As anyone who knows me would say, you’ll always know where you stand with me. I understand the challenges faced by business owners and I know that sometimes tough love is necessary, but so is support. I will provide honest feedback and push you out of your comfort zone, but I’m going to take those steps with you. You are already doing a great job and succeeding in business, I’m here to get you to the next level. I do that by understanding you, your values and goals, and collaborating with you on how to get there. Then we take action!
