Meet the team
I bring over two decades of experience working in and managing high-profile public and private venues.
I have been leading the alumni UBC facility team for ten years! I helped open the doors to the Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre and designed the facilities wedding program.
One of my favorite things about opening the building was buying all the furniture!! I have a thing for elegant sleek modern items that only need decor to highlight the room vs hide it.
I also love building great teams and we have an amazing one. They are knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful and organized. We have an exceptional venue for you to plan your dream wedding in.
Outside of the office I enjoy getting the chance to get outside and go on adventures with my family and dog or sit down with a good book and a large glass of wine.
I have been in the events and hospitality industry for over 15 years, working as a wedding and conference planner, project manager and venue specialist.
My keen attention to detail, logistics background and overall love for organizing and creating efficient spaces has built a great network for our clients to tap into when looking for something new and unique.
When I'm not organizing everyone else’s events, I'm probably planning my own or unwinding with a glass of scotch and a crossword puzzle.
I have been working in the Wedding & Event industry for over a decade and can’t imagine doing anything else!
I have an immense passion for events and creative concept design and like to think of myself as having contagious enthusiasm. I love personalizing events with our clients and always strive to make the experience seamless and enjoyable.
In my ‘down time’ you may find me camping & adventuring with my two active kids, husband and French Bulldog around BC, or beachcoming near our home in South Surrey.
