I’m the proud owner of The Venue @ 14th & Pine, a boutique event space in my hometown of Texarkana, TX and Curated Collection Rentals, a luxury event rental company.

With a background in event design, floral artistry, and global importing, I love creating bespoke celebrations that reflect each client’s vision. For me, it’s all about making sure every detail—from the invitations to the entertainment—comes together to create something truly unforgettable. But my passion goes far beyond designing beautiful experiences.

I’m also the founder of Event Professionals Marketplace (EPM), a collaborative community of over 20,000 event professionals. It’s a space where relationships are built, knowledge is shared, and growth is encouraged. Through The EPM University, I offer hands-on and virtual education as well as digital resources to help event designers develop their skills, uncover their unique creative style, position their businesses for sustainability, and grow with confidence.

I’ve seen firsthand how many event professionals struggle to build the business side of their creativity, so I created the EPM Blueprint—a step-by-step guide to help newer entrepreneurs build, grow, and sustain profitable businesses.

My latest project, the 5K Wedding Day Blueprint, is designed for event professionals who want to create luxury micro weddings on a $5,000 budget, helping them attract more clients and diversify their services.

At the heart of everything I do is a desire to see event professionals and small business owners succeed. Whether I’m designing a retreat, simplifying business processes with practical tools, or mentoring the next generation of talent, my goal is simple: to empower others to thrive in their creative and entrepreneurial journeys.
