What is your typical day like?

I have a toddler so my day starts with Sesame Street and a morning devotional while he eats and when he heads to daycare, I put on my business owner hat and get to work on timelines, emails, and all things wedding planning! In the afternoons, I take a break from work and put on my mommy hat and we go for walks or play outside whenever we can and then I take client calls in the evenings and enjoy family time after that!

How did you get started in the industry?

I went to NC State for Parks, Recreation & Tourism Management and interned for a wedding planner and at  Disney World where I realized I love working in a field where I can make people happy! I then went on to work at a venue and in corporate events before I decided to start my own business and I have been full-time planning for going on 3 years now!

What inspires you?

I absolutely love everything that Christy Wright, Megan Gilikin, and Brandee Garr put out! I read and listen to their books and podcasts and they have truly helped me build and grow my business since day one. I also love turning to the Bible when I need advice or a pick me up in work and personal life.

What are your favorite online resources for your business?

Brandee Garr’s Wedding Pro CEO online community and podcast are amazing. And I also love the free resources from The Planner’s Vault that Megan Gilikin releases! I’ve been playing with the idea of becoming a paid member of the Planners Vault for a few years now.

Aside from wedding and event planning, how do you spend your time?

I love playing with my little boy and being outside. Our family loves to go camping and to visit family in the mountains. Football and baseball are big sports in our house so we love watching and going to games when we can. I also just got a Cricut Maker and I’m not ashamed to say I love it like a baby, it’s the best thing I’ve ever purchased.
