About Me
Life can be hectic and time consuming. You need someone you can trust to take care of every last detail – no matter what your event or project entails.
I’m an experienced event planner, administrative professional and facilities/property manager, with 30 years of making life easier for my clients. I have won multiple awards related to leadership and operational excellence, and completed courses in event planning and project management at Sheridan College, as well as business management courses, Six Sigma Green Belt training and MICA Management training. I was a member of Junior Achievement for 15 years as a Project Business Advisor, Business Basics Consultant and Event Planner.
My commitment to you: I guarantee you will not find better service elsewhere. I provide professional, quality services and work closely with my clients to understand their needs and maximize the value they receive. I deliver on my promises and will not rest until you have received the most exceptional experience possible.
My Process
Your special occasion deserves the utmost care and attention. As a professional event planner, my focus is on providing an exceptional, personalized experience.
When you contact me, my first step is to learn more about you and your vision of the perfect event. You can depend on my experience, flair for creativity, and strong organizational skills to plan an innovative, successful event that reflects your brand and style.
During an initial 30-minute consultation, I work to understand crucial items like the budget and guest list, as well as the elements that add a personal touch, such as your hobbies or even your favourite colour. From there, I design a custom event that fits your budget – and your dream of what a truly unforgettable event should be.

Planned a team-building event for 80 people at a food bank, to assist with organizing community Christmas donations at the warehouse. It was very inspirational and fulfilling to see everyone work together to help needy families in the community.
