After graduating from Stephen F. Austin State University (Axe 'Em!), I spent 15 years as a Merchandise Manager in retail, where I led the design and layout of stores, styled displays, and created visual experiences that drew people in. That love for design never left—and eventually inspired me to take a leap and turn a part-time passion into a full-time business.

In 2023, I officially launched Stand Out Balloons & Events, and I haven’t looked back! As the sole owner and operator, I pour my heart into every project. I work closely with each client, taking their ideas and inspiration, turning them into mock-ups, and transforming them into real-life showstoppers. Whether it's a backyard birthday or a corporate event, I treat every setup with the same care and attention to detail.
When I'm not working on events, I'm spending time with my family, hanging out with our sweet dog Pepper, and soaking in all the beautiful chaos of mom life. I'm so grateful to do what I love—and even more excited to help your next celebration Stand Out!

Wife, mom of two, creative at heart, and the founder of Stand Out Balloons & Events.
