A 30 year-old bartender that has refused to grow up, I'm passionate about bringing people together to create meaningful relationships and memories, while usually enjoying a fun beverage in hand ;)
I've always lived by the motto, "work hard, party harder". First being thrown behind the bar at the age of 19, I learned the ropes quickly, working at one of the busiest bars in DFW. I was always referred to as a "deer in headlights" that first bar shift. I knew nothing about being a bartender, but I instantly knew I loved it. I loved the fast pace behind the bar, and I love having fun with everyone at the bar.
Over the years I was asked by patrons to work their kid's weddings, their holiday parties at the house, poker nights, you name it. For years, while attending college at UNT, I bartended most days and nights at the bar and worked private events on the weekends (fitting in an occasional trip to the bar or airport in between, of course ;P).
After years of the hustle, I was approached with an offer to hop on board to run the office of a startup in construction. I jumped on the opportunity and ran with it. For five years I built processes, and helped develop and maintain the backend of a growing company and team. But then I was ready to start something of my own.
Starting Professional Partiers in 2018, after our first successful Swing Your Wood tournament, I was ready to build something I was passionate about. I wanted to build a team of motivated and talented people ready to put in some work and always down for a good time. I was determined to build a team with a passion for giving back to our community and creating sustainability within the event industry.
Besides working hard, I tend to party hard too! :) When I'm not working, I spend most of my time with my husband, Matt, and our dog, Whiskey. Always down for an adventure, the hubby and I love meeting new people and exploring new places. Finding each other by accident at the bar, we both fell in love with adventures together. In 2019, while on a last minute trip we booked with our friends to Switzerland, he asked me to marry him while clutching to the edge of a hot air balloon. Not long after, we ran off to Hawaii and secretly eloped in a waterfall. Now married for 3 years, we've learned how to juggle life together. Building a small business ran out of our garage has been nothing short of a continual learning experience for both of us the last four years, as life just seems to get busier and busier.
As the company grows, I hope to grow our own life with and around it, always finding a happy balance of work and fun.
If you've made it this far, I look forward to getting to connect with you and start our own party adventure together!

One event we have started to grow is our Annual Swing Your Wood Charity Golf Tournament. Starting in 2018, we are beyond pumped to kick off round FIVE this coming summer June 17th, 2023
In our first four years, we have raised over $7,600 collectively for the Wounded Warrior Project + North Texas Warrior Golf Association. We hope to grow that number over the years while we build up our tournament. Focused on creating lasting memories, we look to bring friends, old and new, together for one full day of shit-talking, cold beers, golf, cute girls, and raising money and awareness for our partnered charity, NORTH TEXAS WARRIOR GOLF ASSOCIATION!
