Her superb organizational skills, professionalism, and passion in design make her not only a great planner but someone you can trust to go above and beyond your expectations.Family and friends are most important to her, so finding reasons to celebrate together is how Joanna originally got involved in the event planning industry. From concept to completion, Joanna is dedicated to creating events that let you share your best memories with those you care about the most.
When she’s not planning events, she loves traveling and has backpacked through Europe, skydived in Switzerland, shot a movie in Brazil, and taught English in Japan. She also loves watching movies, reading, singing Karaoke, scrapbooking, and holds a 3rd degree black belt in martial arts.
