PRESSING QUESTIONS
Best career moment so far:
Seeing the work I’ve been privileged to do featured in local and national magazines and blogs. Unbeatable!
How I knew this was my passion:
I’ve always had a love for creating and coordinating, so when the chance presented itself for me to ditch the corporate cubicle, I leaped.
Biggest challenges in my career:
Balancing a healthy work-home life. You want to be the best you can be for your clients, but not sacrifice your family time, so it’s been a learning experience making sure I’m being the best for all involved.
The one thing I wish people knew about my field:
How not glamorous wedding planning can be. People see the finished product and don’t usually think about what all goes into the planning process: budget analysis, setting realistic expectations and educating people on an industry they’re largely unfamiliar with.
Best advice I've ever received:
Don’t let fear and insecurity keep you from trying new things. Sometimes the biggest rewards involve the biggest risks!
If I could lunch with any woman, it would be:
A group of wedding planners. There's nothing better than a community of hard-working women who understand your daily struggles, can provide insight and act as a sounding board. There are more than enough weddings to go around!
A nonprofit I wish more people knew about:
Rescue Road. Save all the dogs!
What makes Little Rock feel like home:
Working alongside my "friendors" (vendor-friends) has fostered a community like no other, and I continually count my blessings that this city is home to all these great souls I work with every day.
