Growing up in Hollywood, CA, surrounded by the TV industry, I was inspired by my parents who worked in television to follow their footsteps. Though I initially envisioned a career in TV production, my journey took a different path. After college, I began my marketing career at an advertising agency in Orange County. Soon after, I transitioned to an in-house role at an advisory firm, leading their marketing department. This experience set the foundation for my career in marketing and event planning.In 2008, after nearly a decade in the advisory firm, I founded a consulting business specializing in event planning, marketing implementation, and administrative support. This venture allowed me to collaborate with wealth managers and financial services firms across California and the Pacific West, honing my skills and deepening my understanding of the financial advisory space.The global pandemic in 2020 brought new challenges and opportunities. In 2021, I co-founded Event Advisors with my partner Elyse Stoner. Combining 30 years of marketing experience and 20 years in the advisory space, our mission is to help financial advisors host events that strengthen client relationships and create growth opportunities. At Event Advisors, we believe in the power of events to enhance client relationships. Well-executed events deepen existing relationships, show appreciation, and convert prospects into clients. We design custom events that foster and sustain client relationships, driving growth and loyalty and offer different ways to share our experience with our clients and their teams. Our goal is to remove the stress of event planning, allowing advisors to focus on what they do best.Throughout my career, I have been inspired by the dedication financial advisors have for their clients. It's uplifting to witness the extraordinary efforts made to positively impact people's lives, and I am committed to supporting advisors in these endeavors.Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and son, exploring diverse cultures through travel, and trying new foods and restaurants (it's not a surprise our son is studying food science at the Culinary Institute of America in New York!). When I’m not planning events, eating, or traveling, you’ll find me outdoors at the beach, exercising, boating, biking, or hiking.My goal is to help you reclaim your time so you can focus on growing your business and serving your clients. If you're ready to elevate your events, let's connect and make a meaningful impact together!
