“I’m a “look at the sky!” type of person”

Where did you grow up? What do you consider to be your hometown?

I consider Arvada, Colorado to be my hometown. I was born on an island in the South Pacific called Guam, but have always considered Colorado to be home!

How long have you lived in Colorado? What do you love about it?

I have lived in Colorado since I was 2, and my favorite part about Colorado is our 300 days of sunshine!

What does your perfect Saturday look like?

My perfect Saturday would include waking up in a beautiful place either near the beach or in the mountains, grabbing a quick and delicious breakfast, and spending the morning exploring. Then, the afternoon would include scoping out a new place for lunch with great food and fun drinks, and finishing the day with a lowkey concert, movie, or musical followed by a quick trip for froyo or an Oreo Blizzard!

Why do you like most about the wedding industry?

The thing I like most about the wedding industry is all of the LOVE! Whether it is talking with couples about their love stories or showing love to my teammates and fellow vendors. A trend that I have been loving is mismatched wedding party attire.

What do you like to do in your free time? What are your hobbies? What are your favorite things in life? What is something that always cheers you up?

In my free time, I love doing little crafts that bring me joy, like handmade cards for loved ones! My hobbies include watching fraudster documentaries, going on staycations around the state to check out unique Airbnbs and hotels, and trying new foods! My favorite things in life are beach days, spicy food, hot tubs in the snow, and time spent with my people! Something that always cheers me up is getting comfy and watching a favorite movie with popcorn.
