Captivate Yourself

About Me
I've proudly called home for 45 wonderful years My journey has taken me through the heart of this vibrant city, particularly along the iconic River Walk, where my passion for event planning blossomed over the past two decades.
As I delved deeper into my career, I discovered a genuine enthusiasm for sales and marketing, which not only broadened my professional horizons but also contributed significantly to my personal growth. I eventually found my way back to the hospitality sector, reigniting love for hotels and lodging.
Throughout my career, I've played a part in the thriving Conventions and Tourism market, which has provided me with the incredible opportunity to organize memorable events for numerous Fortune 500 companies. I've had the privilege of working with VIPs, including sports stars, musicians, and celebrities, as well as welcoming countless visitors and locals through our doors.
Collaborating with talented individuals in the food and beverage and hospitality industries has been a remarkable experience, as we've dedicated ourselves to hard work and shared our expertise to create extraordinary moments.
