WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE RENTAL ITEM AT PEP, AND WHY?

The Valentina Loveseat – She’s bold, she’s moody, total glam

IF IT WAS YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY, WHAT WOULD THE THEME BE, AND WHAT COLOR PALETTE AND PEP PROPS/DECOR WOULD YOU USE?

Rustic Italian Countryside – the color palette would include bright orange, soft yellow, earthy greens, and warm creams, mixed with natural wood and stone accents. I’d use the Heritage king’s tables, Olive Drab bar, and Vineyard chairs, paired with linen table runners, classic florals in ceramic containers, and lots of candlelight to create a warm, moody atmosphere.

WHAT DO YOU DO FOR FUN WHEN NOT WORKING?

I like to go snowboarding, camping, going to the beach and hanging with my dog.

TELL US ABOUT THE MOST UNIQUE EVENT THEME YOU’VE EVER WORKED ON.

A Wizard of Oz theme celebration of life. It was so unique, so fun, and you could tell it was so true to the client’s personality

WHAT’S THE HARDEST THING ABOUT EVENT PRODUCTION?

Having to tear down the beautiful set up after the event ends.

TELL US YOUR BACKGROUND – WHAT’S YOUR STORY ABOUT GETTING INTO EVENTS, AND HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN THE INDUSTRY & AT PEP?

My first introduction to the industry began in high school where I worked part time for a florist and continued through summers while in college. During this time, I also assisted with weddings and other corporate events for a local SD events company. I studied Hospitality and Tourism Management at San Diego State University, where I built strong connections within the San Diego events industry. I began working at PEP in November 2024.
