"I started my career as a Wedding planner for a couple of reasons. I really enjoyed planning events and coordinating details across multiple channels, and I've always loved helping people. From a logistical standpoint, it always made sense for me to enter the profession given my skillset. What really got me hooked was when I voluntarily planned my grandma's wedding. My grandfather passed away about 15 years prior, and my grandmother met someone in her community that made her happy. When I learned of their engagement, I knew right away that I wanted to help her have an incredible wedding ceremony and reception. I never intended to start a career after that, but I found that I got so much joy out of the whole process that I had to keep going!"
