About Essence
Aside from being a wife and mother of 3 boys, I have spent the majority of my corporate career in Strategy Development. My past roles required me to lead strategy implementation efforts by organizing corporate conferences, training seminars, and engagement events. Unofficially, I’ve always served as the de facto planner for boutique events and special occasions with my friends and family, which has led me to this point in my life. I have a passion for bringing people together and curating memorable moments. My goal is to help my clients not only enjoy the planning experience, but to thrive while truly enjoying the success of their event.
