About Me

Why hire a planner?

 

You've researched venues, selected menus, and poured hours into every detail. All is in motion for your closest friends and family to come together and celebrate — and the stress is building.

Set the notebook down and pick up a glass of bubbly. That's what I'm here for. I step in so that you, and those closest to you, can be fully present for the moments that matter. Having executed hundreds of events, the little bumps that come up along the way don't intimidate me — they're what I'm built for.

My job is to make sure you feel like a guest at your own celebration.

How I Got Here 

My love for bringing people together started early — around a Dominican family dinner table where food, music, and celebration were one and the same. That passion led me to build a career across every side of the events industry.

I started in fine dining hospitality at the Metropolitan Opera House and Lincoln Center, where I learned how to read a room, anticipate needs, and deliver seamless experiences under pressure — skills that became the foundation of everything I do today.

From there, I spent years as a Catering and Sales Manager at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden — one of New York City's most iconic wedding and event venues — where I planned and executed hundreds of weddings, galas, and corporate events. I bring that same venue-level expertise to every space I work in.

When the pandemic shifted the industry, I brought my operational skills to one of the largest Fortune 500 companies in the world, where I managed high-visibility programs, executive events, and cross-functional logistics at scale. It sharpened my ability to manage complexity, stakeholders, and tight timelines with precision — skills that serve my clients every single day.

Now, I combine all of it. The warmth and intuition of hospitality. The creative vision of a wedding planner. The rigor and polish of corporate operations. And the personal, hands-on attention that only comes from working independently with clients I truly care about.

Why It Matters  

Life is made up of quiet moments and big celebrations. I love what I do because planning your event is how I can bring the two together in the most meaningful way possible. Memories are our most precious possessions — my job is to make yours last a lifetime.

When I'm not planning events, you can find me exploring restaurants and meeting new people in my favorite city, New York — or on my favorite island, the Dominican Republic, where my family is from.
