Event Planner and Designer & Custom Baking
I plan and coordinate events, as well as custom design the theme tied in with it.
Answering emails and messages, organizing schedules, zoom meetings, multitasking custom projects for different clients or events before their deadlines.
Here's the first step for everyone
The first step to getting your foot in the door, in the profession, is to gain experience. For me, everything was self-taught with a lot of trial and error. Failure is a big part of success—it teaches you how to pivot when needed. When I first started, I would do a lot of events for free just to gain experience as well as grow my portfolio. Social media was very helpful. Also, having the right mindset is also a big must!
"Since leaving nursing, I got a lot of criticism, especially from my parents. They just couldn’t believe I would want to leave a stable nursing career for something unpredictable (in their eyes). It brought me down most times, questioning my choices."
"Being able to use my creative skills to make a significant impact in people's lives."
"Every client is different so you got to adapt to their personality, which is hard sometimes. Dealing with new people all the time is unpredictable. You can never be too comfortable."
"I have a website I run, which people can inquire about services through there. I have an online shop as well, where I sell some of my custom work and more."
