Born and raised in Santa Clarita, I have been in the event industry for over 15 years. After graduating from Le Cordon Bleu I put my culinary skills to work as an assistant pastry chef at Wolf Creek Restaurant & Brewery. It was there that I realized my real passion was interacting with people, which meant getting out of the kitchen. I was quickly promoted to the Catering Manager and learned all the basics needed. From there I went on to become the Food & Beverage Director at The Paseo Club, where I learned many valuable tools while building the business, and networking within the community.

In 2012 I moved to Santa Barbara to take a job at the beautiful Bacara Resort & Spa. There I was fortunate enough to work with top conference and event teams such as Colin Cowie Lifestyle, Google’s Executive Circle, and many others to produce one of a kind events for couples, corporations and celebrities alike. After getting married I knew that we would need to move elsewhere to start a family and buy a home, so we came back to our hometown. When I came back I realized Santa Clarita had something missing- there was nowhere to find unique or premium rentals like I was exposed to in Santa Barbara. My extensive background, coupled with my attention to detail, love of food, wine, and a fantastic party led me to creating Touch of Gray Event Rentals & Design.
