| Biography: | I’m a southern girl through and through, born and raised deep in the heart of Texas. As a young girl, my mother gifted me a pretty pink briefcase filled with everything you needed to plan a make-believe wedding. I would plan weddings for hours and all of my Barbie’s were married! I knew at a very young age that planning weddings and events was what I wanted to do with my life. I worked to make sure that my dream was a possibility.
After graduating from college with a degree in Hospitality Management and a degree in Culinary Arts, I began a career in hotels. I worked with the prestigious Rosewood Hotels & Resorts for 5 years. During my time in hotels, I worked in my different departments in two different hotels in Dallas, learning all aspects and inner workings of the hotel industry. I then moved onto work with a catering company as their Wedding Sales Manager, and loved every minute of it! In March of 2011, my mother was diagnosed with stage II breast cancer. Life came to a halt. My mother always wanted the best for my sister and I. We knew that to make her proud we would set out to fulfill the dreams that we had as little girls! In November 2011, we created Plum Pineapple Events…and hit the ground running. With our combined years of experience in the hotel, restaurant and catering industry we have been able to find success at every turn with our company. We look forward to celebrating our 1 year anniversary soon with many more years to come. We feel that through our dedication, hard work, and passion…we make our mother happy and proud each and every day! Our mother is cancer free and healthy! |
