My work: Creative Director for The Ghazi Company.

My passion: Creating! Whether it is designing a new space or planning for an upcoming event, my passion lies in the opportunity to create something exciting, breathtaking, and memorable.

Words I live by: “The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.” –Coco Chanel

Favorite color and why? Red. It encompasses it all…strength, passion, love, and excitement.

I am guilty of: being a perfectionist.

I can’t live without: my blackberry

Right now I’m reading: Stolen Lives by Malika Oufkir
 
Something most people don’t know about me: I love to sing and dance! Especially in the car or when I think no one is watching.
 
The worst idea I’ve ever had: dying my hair blonde.

I am most proud of: my volunteer work. I volunteer at the Levine Children’s Hospital through the Junior League of Charlotte. It is an amazing feeling to be able to help a child escape the realities facing them in the hospital by creating an atmosphere that puts a big cheery smile on their face. 

What keeps me awake at night: my to-do list
 
If I could be totally wild, I would: take off for a year and travel the world.

I’d like to learn to: speak Spanish and Italian.

Whose diary would you most like to read? Grace Kelly’s

I feel strongest when: the design and planning has all come together on a project and you can see the success of your work in the client’s face.
 
At the end of a long day, the first thing I want to do is: kick off my high heels and have a glass of wine.

Always...remember who you are.

Never...regret. Treat every experience as a lesson learned in life, no matter good or bad.
