About Amy
Southern Californian, through and through.
I was born and raised in San Diego, CA, and followed it up with a move to Los Angeles to attend USC. After receiving my undergraduate degree from the USC Marshall School of Business in Marketing, with a minor in religion, I stayed in LA and joined Party Planners West in 2010 as an assistant event coordinator. After 11 years as a full time employee, including multiple promotions to Director of Event Coordination, in 2021 I moved to contract event work.
After welcoming my son in late 2022, I am excited to be back on the events scene balancing work and family life. I was a previously nationally ranked pickleball player, and I enjoy Ping Pong, and watching new TV shows & movies at home in San Diego, CA.
