Howdy! It is so nice to meet you. Let's get the boring stuff out of the way - I attended the University of Central Florida Rosen College of Hospitality Management and have a degree in just that-Hospitality Management! My early career took place in hotels and theme parks in Orlando. I struggled to find a place in the hospitality world that I was passionate about. I made the move back to Tampa to work in event management for a nationwide charity but deep down I knew I always wanted to be... a wedding planner! I got in on the ground floor at a venue where I worked three weddings a weekend! With my previous experience, a crash course on the ins and outs of the event, and a passion for making a truly memorable wedding experience for every couple, I made my way to planning. 

My goal is always to make exceptional experiences for my couples. I love to work through a problem, to plan and organize, and have always had the incredible talent of remaining calm under pressure. On top of that, I am a huge fan of design and decor! Did someone say HomeGoods?! And yes, I do want to see your Pinterest.

In my free time, I love a picnic in the park or the beach with a good book. I love shopping, spending time with friends, watching movies, and playing video games. I love my cats so much and I am a notorious dog sitter amongst my friends. 

That's a little bit about me!

The Archer Origin Story

How did I come to naming my event planning company The Archer? There are a number of reasons! ​

Firstly, I am a Sagittarius. The Sagittarius symbol is an arrow which is representative of The Archer constellation; a centaur aiming his bow. Sagittarius are known for being independent, compassionate, and honest.​

Secondly, another famous archer! A cherub with the power to make people fall in love, Cupid.

Thirdly, I grew up with a western obsessed grandfather. We often watched cowboys and Native Americans on tv shows and movies. I love Western movies, art, and clothing!
