Event planning was my minor in college. I worked part-time during school in a hotel sales and catering department, and became full-time upon graduation. I coordinated both meetings and social functions. 

What's your favorite part of a couple's wedding day?: 

Their first dance. They have finally arrived to the reception and start the fun off with their first dance as husband and wife. I love seeing what song they pick for each other and how sincere they are in this moment.

I love going to the movies, the beach and hanging out with friends and family.
