Summary

I have been actively interested in Florals and Gardening for many years. I assist party planners/floral designers and have helped create and set up many successful events. I am organized, energetic, easy going and love to learn; able to make changes and solve problems on the move and can easily pivot when needed. I have a good understanding of design, color, balance, space and harmony. My background in Social Work enables me to better bond with all sorts of clients and help alleviate and reassure them of their party anxieties.
