The first event I ever planned was my little brother’s Bar Mitzvah Party alongside my mother.

I had so much fun putting the party together it didn’t occur to me that it was something I could do for a living until almost eight years later at college graduation.

I live for organization, creative solutions and solving any wild problem thrown my way. The best part of planning events is that no two are ever the same, there is always a new challenge, and it is such a thrill to take that challenge on.

Throughout my career, I have planned everything from weddings and funerals to large galas and fundraisers to international VIP trips and corporate conferences. The variety of events is what fuels my creative energy but working with such an incredible team at Castle is what truly keeps me going.

Outside of work, I also love planning. Whether it is my son’s birthday party, a weekend hike with our dog, or an international vacation with friends and family — I truly enjoy being on the go and bringing people (and dogs) together. I enjoy spending my downtime cooking, playing strategic board games or curled up at home with a good book to decompress after all the adventure.
