Favorite aspect of work for RJG: Being able to help couples plan out their big day and using my own creativity to provide suggestions, solutions, and execute a perfect day for couples.

Favorite thing to do when not at Running Deer: I love traveling and enjoy visiting new places!
Favorite Golf Course: Mini Golfing anywhere 🙂
Strange/Funny Childhood Belief: I thought the dolls in my room (that scared the crap out of me) would come alive at night while I was sleeping.
Fun Fact: I went to Japan with my brother & sister for two weeks at the end of 2018 and am waiting for the chance to return, as it was the most amazing trip I’ve ever taken!
Favorite Quote: “I always tell the girls, never take it seriously. If you never take it seriously, you never get hurt. You never get hurt, you always have fun. And if you ever get lonely, just go to the record store and visit your friends.”- Penny Lane (from the movie Almost Famous)
What advice would you give a candidate who wants to join our team of superstars? DO IT! Although it requires hard work, the end result is always worth it!
If I weren’t so damn good at my job, I’d probably be___At home alone with my cats, adopting more and more cats until I could officially be considered a crazy cat lady.
What is your favorite part of the wedding day? Setting up all of the beautiful decor and admiring the gorgeous wedding/bridesmaid dresses
When did you start building a passion for events? During my time in college at UCF while in a sorority (Alpha Xi Delta), I was able to help plan different philanthropic/social events which also lead me to becoming part of the UCF Homecoming Executive Board for their special events.
