How did you get started in the events industry? This is my first job in this industry and as a BDR! Candice helped me get my foot in the door and I love it SO much and am so thankful!

What was it like over the past 2 years during covid for you personally and professionally? A lot of ups and downs. I struggled a lot with dividing my time at my job and trying to get promoted while being a mother/ wife. I worked at a grocery store so it never stopped, even during Covid! I was thankful that it never affected me in a bad way, but it was hard when my kids had to be home and we both had to work. Starting school at 5 pm was not fun!

What did you learn about yourself and the industry? I wasn’t here, but I did enjoy learning how JRGE got through it all with their creative ideas of social remote events!

What would you do if you were NOT in the events industry? Previously, I was a cake decorator and I really loved it. If I could do that in my own bakery, I would!

What do you do in your spare time? I love to watch movies, go shopping, listen to music and dance around my house, decorate, and cook! Also, hiking is a new found hobby that I really enjoy as well! Mostly, If I’m with my family and my pups, I’m happy!
