In 1995, driven by a deep curiosity about food and a love for creating experiences, I began my journey in the culinary world. While in culinary school, I catered events, cooked professionally, ice carved, competed—and even earned several titles. Though I eventually discovered that becoming a chef wasn’t my ultimate path, I knew I belonged in the hospitality industry.
After years of managing restaurants, catering companies, and volunteering in community events, I founded Ambiance Events in 2014. Now, over a decade later, I continue to pour my heart into event planning, helping clients bring their visions to life through thoughtfully curated experiences. From weddings and corporate gatherings to intimate celebrations, I’ve had the honor of collaborating with incredible clients, talented vendors, and a passionate team.
At Ambiance Events, we thrive on creativity, attention to detail, and the joy of delivering unforgettable memories that last a lifetime.
In 2023, I graduated from Wichita State University with a BA in Theatre. I began my studies focused on performance but quickly expanded into producing, directing, and event planning – seeking a well-rounded understanding of theatrical storytelling. While at WSU, I directed and produced two musicals and served as Artistic Director of our student-led theatre organization. My background in the performing arts taught me how to lead with creativity, manage complex moving parts, and tell meaningful stories — skills I now bring into the world of weddings and events. I’m especially inspired by immersive theatre and make regular trips to New York City to explore innovative, sensory-driven experiences. My goal is to bring that same magic back to Wichita, designing events that feel personal, intentional, and unforgettable. Today, I’m proud to work alongside my mom at Ambiance Events. Learning from her and contributing to the business she built is a privilege – and a joy.
As a Type A, older sister archetype, I have a knack for noticing small details and caring deeply for the people I get to work with.
I planned a few events throughout college in campus leadership roles, but it wasn’t until my younger sister got married that I fell in awe with wedding planning. After seeing how our coordinator made the process so smooth, I was hooked! I knew I wanted to do the same for others - to create beautiful, seamless experiences that bring people together in meaningful ways.
I’m originally from Louisiana, but recently moved to Wichita from Houston where I worked in the events industry as a Wedding Coordinator and then as a Sales Consultant for an event rental company. Both experiences taught me the value of careful planning, creative problem solving, and collaborating with vendors to provide a unique experience for every client and their guests.
I’m so excited to continue being a part of people’s special moments alongside the Ambiance team!
