She launched her own event planning company, Rocket Science Events, in 2010, hoping to revolutionize weddings. In the same revolutionary spirit she launched Minne Weddings in 2020. She has been named one of the “30 under 40 to watch” by Special Events magazine and one of BRIDES and Martha Stewart’s Top Planners. Her work has won international awards and been featured in magazines, online and on TV.  She's a past president of the Minneapolis-St. Paul ILEA chapter, founding member of the Small Wedding Society, and a proud Ravenclaw. When she isn’t working, she enjoys spending time drinking wine, eating good food, building LEGO with her kids, and Netflix and chilling with her husband.
