INDUSTRY ROLE: Founder & Creative Director, Oh Niki Occasions

SHOWCASING EVENT(S): Connect Social

FAVORITE THING ABOUT EVENTS INDUSTRY: Being a CONNECTOR!  I love surrounding myself with other talented individuals within our industry and I network everywhere I go. My first thought is never "what's in it for me" but rather, "who do I know that would also benefit from knowing this person" and "how can I be of service to them."  That's where true connection happens and long term relationships are forged.

FAVORITE QUOTE: "I drove by the fork in the road and went straight." - Jay Z

GO-TO BEVERAGE: New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc

LAST BOOK READ: Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara

CURRENT FAVORITE SONG: HEATED by Beyoncé

3 WORDS THAT DESCRIBE ME: Genuine, creative, giving

LATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT: An EPIC year as the President of WIPA Southeast Florida!
