Transitioning from a seven-year management career with a Global Fortune 500 company to becoming a worldwide event planner was a natural choice for Carolyn. Her expertise in international business development and product logistics allowed her to travel extensively throughout Asia, Europe and the United States. Now she utilizes her knowledge of exotic locations and exposure to different cultures in a more rewarding way.

Besides the many holiday parties, team building events and company picnics she organized in her prior job, since 2001 Carolyn has been privileged to assist couples with creating one of their special days - their wedding. She has trained with some of the top special event planners in the industry.

Previously, as a leader in her sorority, she planned black-tie events, talent shows, fundraisers, and picnics for groups up to 400. In high school, Carolyn was in charge of large awards banquets for the Leo Youth Lions service club which she was one of the founders.

To perfect her skills and stay on top of trends, she is an active member in the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC) and the International Special Events Society (ISES). She'll soon earn the esteemed designation of Certified Special Event Professional (CSEP).

With a BA in Business Marketing where her research set the curve, Carolyn is no stranger to managing a budget. She knows how to get the best value for her clients.

And here's what really sets her apart:

• She rode an ostrich in South Africa, went "Canyoning" in Switzerland and took a leap at skydiving on her birthday. Yes, she's adventurous and fun!
• She played the quints drums in the high school marching band (and even performed at the Sydney Opera House). Yes, she's got rhythm!
• She speaks Chinese-Mandarin fluently and understands conversational Japanese. Yes, she's bilingual!
