Fun Facts
One of my bucket list goals is to attend all four Grand Slam tennis tournaments - the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open.
My personal mantra is: be kind, it's that simple!
If I weren’t in the AEC space, I would love to design and produce unforgettable events for luxury hotels.
