What guides my work
My mission
My mission is to use creativity and technology to help families celebrate life moments
and help young people see what is possible for their future. Whether I am supporting a school district,
spinning guests on the 360 platform or walking teens through their first resume,
I want people to feel seen, capable and supported.
The systems behind the scenes
My career in technology
By day I work in IT for a public school district, leading enterprise applications and digital systems that keep schools running.
I spend a lot of time connecting tools, solving problems and making sure staff have what they need to do their jobs well.
That experience taught me how to manage complex projects, communicate with all kinds of people
and turn big ideas into practical plans.
Celebrations that bring people together
Savvy Events: creating moments that matter
Savvy Events grew out of my love for celebrations and my desire to create fun experiences for my own family and community.
My daughter, Aleese, and I launched the 360 photo booth together and she is still part of the magic behind the scenes.
We love watching people light up when they see their videos and knowing we played a small part in memories
they will look back on for years.
Practical support for the next step
Savvy Pathways: helping teens step confidently into work
Working inside education and volunteering with youth showed me how much teens benefit from straightforward, real-world guidance.
Savvy Pathways was created to fill that gap. Through workshops, bootcamps and speaking, I help students build resumes,
understand job applications, practice interviewing and learn what it looks like to show up confidently at work.
Together, my technical career, Savvy Events and Savvy Pathways let me do what I love most:
blend systems and structure with creativity and heart, all in service of people and their stories.
