"My Dream Date" –“ Right now… any good looking man that would ask me out
My favorite four legged friend: I don’t really have a favorite, always had dogs growing up, but now I have 2 cats (Tiffany and Fendi), I like them all equally
My #1 piece of advice for planning an event - Don’t stress, I can do that for you.
Horror event story? I had an end of conference awards dinner, and people had to turn in tickets, and pick tables. The client gave me the guarantee, then continued to accept tickets without telling me. We ended up serving 45 over the overset, and the board members did not eat – (by their choice). We had to drop several tables while everyone was in the room, to accommodate all the extra bodies. It was a little chaotic, but all worked out.
Mi Family is: everything to me. I’m happy to now be living in a driving distance to my parents
What you love about your job? All the great people I get to work with, all the great events that I’ve been able to be a part, the great speakers I’ve seen, great entertainment, and I always learn something with each meeting planner I work with.
Bad Habit: Completely addicted to my phone
Pet Peeve: People who get YELLULAR on their cellular
Strangest food I have ever eaten: I tried a grasshopper once, I won’t be trying it a second time
The furtherest I have gone from AZ is: I’m originally from Minnesota, so I guess that would be the furthest
Don't tempt me with: chocolate or pizza
Cooking, baking or eating out? Eating out
Allergic to? No allergies
If you called in “rich” to work what would you do instead – I would take some time off to do a lot of things I don’t have time for, like golf, learn to sew, learn to play the violin and the bass guitar, then open a cupcake store
My favorite place on earth is home
Hobbies: golf, knitting and decorating cupcakes, and I also like to play video games
My Last Supper would be full of carbohydrates, pizza, pasta, breads, mmmmm
