With nearly two decades in the events world, spanning corporate conferences, large-scale government events, exhibitions, community activations and now award-winning weddings — I’ve learned that excellence in this industry isn’t created by chance. It’s built through knowledge, structure, emotional intelligence, resilience and genuine passion for people.
I now use that experience to support, mentor and empower other planners, stylists, venue teams and creatives to grow sustainable, confident and deeply fulfilling businesses.
Working with me means partnering with someone who understands the complexities of this industry -timelines, client dynamics, risk management, leadership, creative direction, communication, and navigating the high-pressure realities behind the scenes. I don’t just teach “pretty weddings”.
I teach strong foundations, strategic thinking, elevated client care, and the confidence to hold emotional and logistical authority in your work.
Through mentoring, courses and industry programs, I support professionals who want to:
• refine their systems, structure and client journey
• strengthen confidence and leadership as a planner or creative
• transition from overwhelmed to organised and empowered
• elevate their brand presence and service standards
• learn from someone who has walked the path — and still loves it
Whether you are just starting out or expanding to your next chapter, my approach is warm, practical, honest and deeply encouraging. This is about building businesses and careers that feel intentional, sustainable and aligned — without losing heart in the process.
If you’re ready to invest in your growth, elevate your professionalism, and feel supported by someone who genuinely wants to see you thrive, I’d love to work alongside you.
