ABOUT

Originally from Los Angeles, I made my way south to my new life in Sweet Home Alabama. You know in the south, our roots run deep. And because of that I am able to fulfill my lifelong dream of event planning. Now, I’m the proud owner of Dreamgate Events.

I’ve had a pretty varied career path. I’ve worked in retail, publishing, accounting, business management, and computer software. But, for the past 20 years, I found what I was meant to do, event planning. For 15 years I worked for an area business, planning, organizing and executing some of their most successful seminars, education and team building events. With each event, I’ve established a respected reputation, through destination celebrations, sporting events, festivals, weddings, birthday parties, milestone celebrations, corporate events, community events, and fundraising events, just to name a few.

With my team of incredible professionals—The Dream Team, we create lasting and memorable experiences for our clients. Dreamgate uses creative, diversified, and innovative strategies to provide an abundance of services as we plan, design, and professionally execute your event—each one guaranteed to WOW your guests and make you a proud host.

My passion for hospitality shows in every event. Along with my team we plan and provide the highest quality services for every client. I oversee all preparations with my team. From cutting‐edge design and production to seamless and flawless implementation, we customize each event to ensure every client realizes the same outcome: Perfection. (They don’t call us The Dream Team for nothing!)

My interest in the arts, culture, music, and travel infuse my work and elevate my events to memorable experiences for clients and guests alike. A degree in business administration gives me the insights and financial know how to keep a strict timeline and budget. Calm, cool and collected is my mantra. I take pride in moving people, creating memorable milestones, and maintaining poise under pressure.

My husband, Marc, and I live in Pelham, where Marc teaches at Pelham High School. We adore our two children and five grandchildren.

In my spare time, I like getting lost in projects, spontaneous road trips, cooking, and, of course, entertaining! You can often find me reading, cuddling my grandkids, and getting my hands dirty in a flower bed or two. I love what I do, and I love bringing people together, helping them celebrate memorable moments. I consider myself very blessed for living the “Dream” life I’ve imagined!
