My Italian grandmother used to sit us around her as she peeled a pear in one long strip; slice by slice she would hand us pieces of juicy pear grown in her garden. She brought us all together almost every Sunday and traditions of pasta and wine run deep in my heritage. My passion for bringing people, cultures and traditions together through food, experience, laughter and music are what drive me to create events that are authentic for my clients.

I began my career in the Portland Public School District, creating family engagement events for 400 people on a mere $500 budget. I knew then as I know now, how important celebrations are to humanity. I ultimately transitioned away from the school sector into event production where I could let my creativity run wild while keeping my roots in the foundation of logistics, organization and food and beverage management.
I have planned weddings, social events, non profit and corporate events for over a decade. I love every moment that I get an opportunity to curate events that bring people together– just as my Grandmother did.

When I’m not knee deep in spreadsheets, linen samples and contracts; you’ll find me baking cookies before bed with my two daughters, reimagining our family home, or planning our next adventure abroad.
