Hello, I'm Heather Nelson - a seasoned expert in the hospitality industry with over 20 years of dedicated experience in events and a significant influencer in Sonoma County. I recently founded The Connection Hive, a company committed to empowering small businesses through curating business development plans. Leveraging my extensive network, I excel in linking individuals with the precise resources needed for business growth, spanning marketing strategies, event curation, and business relations management.I am also deeply devoted to women's empowerment, hosting the inspiring podcast, 'Life Conversations with a Twist,' where women share their stories to inspire and empower others. Harnessing this passion, I will be curating events that foster both professional and personal growth. Beyond my professional pursuits, I wear multiple hats as a wife, mother of four, recent surrogate, and community leader. Amidst my diverse roles, I find joy in savoring food and wine at local restaurants—a true reflection of my love for the vibrant community I call home.
