Do you have any client events coming up? What’s your favorite part of event planning?
We just wrapped the Humane Society’s Paw Prints Party on Sept. 28 and the Mid-South Fair on Sept. 29. I’ve got three more events coming up – Hernando Water Tower 10K (Oct. 12), United Housing, Inc.’s Fright at the Brewery (Oct. 24) and Hernando Dickens of a Christmas. (Nov. 8-9)
My favorite part of event planning is getting everyone excited through our promotional efforts, whether that be through media pitching, initial design work, social media posting and thinking outside the box for new ideas to get the word out!
What’s your favorite scary movie and why?
This is a tough one because I love horror films. A great horror movie (in my opinion) has a good mix of campy, gory and psychological elements, so I’m going to go with The Green Inferno – if you have a weak stomach, beware.
What is a piece of hauntingly good advice you’ve been given?
Don’t worry what other people think. We’re all conditioned to strive for popularity and “fame” but comparison is the killer of joy. Be unique. Be confident. Be proud. Be you.
Favorite Halloween candy?
I’m not a huge candy person, but if I had to choose, I’d say some sort of dark chocolate. Perhaps the Midnight Milky Way.
What are your ideal Halloween plans?
Halloween is my favorite holiday, so I’ll be taking EVERY opportunity I can to celebrate – from attending themed parties with my friends to pumpkin carving, scary movie marathons and checking out seasonal haunts.
