2nd Annual NACE Industry Impact Awards
Being on the Programs Committee was no joke as we at the National Association for Catering and Events San Diego Chapter planned for a 100+ person awards gala and silent auction.. We celebrated the stars amongst us in our “rising star” theme at the beautiful University Club atop Symphony Towers.
This awards gala focused on those in the real estate industry that rose above and beyond praising those that were 2019’s top performers in the trade. This evening of over 700 attendees was complete with an opening reception, 3-course meal, live entertainment on-stage, celebrity host, and charity after party.
The charity after party featured gambling tables where all the profits from that night went towards Operation Homefront.

ABOUT ME
I have nearly 10 years of catering and event experience through various industries. I've contributed and created special events that ranged from the Real Estate trade to the Funeral Home sector.
Having earned my Bachelor of Science in Event Management from the hospitality capital of the world - Orlando, FL - the service industry was always something I saw everyday. My passion for events extends to almost every aspect of my life now, as any planner could tell you! It could be setting up a small get-together, to simply crossing off something on your to-do list. I find that there are endless possibilities in store when it comes to executing an event and what draws me in each time is the creative reign to make each one unique in its own way.
I work hard to find unique and memorable ways to host and execute events with a grace and sense of calm that isn’t found quite too often nowadays. With a modern touch and a pinch of vintage flair any event can meet your needs.
