About me.

Hi, my name is Jennifer, but you can call me Jenny.

I get really jazzed about many things in life, but a few of them are quite simple: a really good iced latte with oat milk and maple, being with my husband, discovering a new city, meaningful conversations, and gathering people around a shared experience.

That love for connection naturally led me into event planning and communications, where I get to blend creativity, organization, and hospitality into work that feels both purposeful and personal. I enjoy creating events that not only run smoothly, but also leave people feeling engaged, valued, and connected long after they end.

With a background in organizational leadership and project management, I bring both thoughtful strategy and attention to detail to every experience I create. Along the way, I’ve learned that the best events are often the ones that feel intentional, welcoming, and genuinely human. You aren’t going to find me flowering you with words of delightful eloquence— I prefer to be concise, precises, and again.. genuinely human. ;)

Prior to my “official” event planning title, I come with 8 years of weekend planning experience at a local church of 5,000 (mixed between staff and volunteer leader role). I acted as the service producer for hundreds of weekend services, as well as led the guest experience for special weekends. I have many fond memories of this role, but one of my favorites was when I led and executed the planning of the church’s outdoor Block Party, generating a guest attendance of over 2,600 people. This event was the most challenging event I've ever pulled off, as well as the most exhilarating and fun event I’ve ever pulled off. Fun fact: I was in this role when I learned that Event Planning could be a career, so I quickly pivoted to my current role once I learned.

My special sauce as an event planner is within the 2-4 week lead up to an event. The 2-4 week lead up to an event can be amongst the most stressful time, but I have a unique gift of dancing through the chaos. I am calm, composed, and computed. I have a strong quick decision-making mind that I have grown to trust.

My gap? I’ll be honest and tell you— I don’t fully command a room with my confidence yet. If I notice any sense that I am not trusted, shame creeps up and I begin to shut down. I am working to trust my vast experience, and use my voice to ask questions and seek clarity, instead of spiraling.

Note: I recently had a mix of friends, family, and colleagues complete a quick survey about me professionally. I learned how others perceive me, and much of what I wrote here came from that survey.
