I was born and raised in a small town in Bolton, North Carolina. I have two children, Kamiran (23) and Gavin (14). I attended University of North Carolina at Wilmington in Wilmington, North Carolina where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Management Information Systems. I continued my education at Strayer University in Raleigh, NC and graduated with a Master of Business Administration in Management. I discovered my love for event planning long before I went to college, sometime in my childhood, but didn’t pursue it until later in life.
I always knew that I loved planning but didn’t know I could and would make a career out of it. I grew up always planning my family and friend’s weddings, events, trip and family reunions. My enthusiastic personality, strong leadership skills combined with a genuine commitment to making every wedding & event flawless is what I enjoy most about planning! I have a genuine compassion for people, the wellbeing of people, and seeing people happy

some fun facts
“GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND”
I was so impressed with her performance and services. As mentioned before, she went above and beyond to make sure that my day was stress free. She remained in constant contact with vendors, made sure the bridal party was in “tip-top” shape (i.e. provided refreshments for the bridal party; managed rehearsal until it was correct), provided a detailed and organized timeline for the wedding weekend, ensured the venue did EVERYTHING I asked (decorations, set up), as well as so much more. She provided the structure that is needed to keep things running smoothly, as the that day/weekend is usually expected to be hectic. However, my day was completely opposite of hectic!
