Owner of Melia events

37 year old single mom of 3 teens who recently divorced after a 22 year relationship. I started to focus on me and what I love to do which is all things creative. I took off in the events industry 3 years ago and I have continued to niche down to only draping which can transform any space. I love what I get to do and my 2 oldest kids are part of my team. Looking to grow my social media presence and create relationships with like minded people. #gettoknowme

... Read moreAs a creative entrepreneur in the events industry, I focus on draping, a crucial aspect that can elevate any venue's aesthetic. Draping allows for remarkable transformations, turning ordinary spaces into breathtaking environments suitable for any occasion, from weddings to corporate events. Connecting with my kids while building this business adds layers of joy and fulfillment to my journey. This synergy strengthens our family bond while creating an empowering space for creativity. Growing my social media presence is essential for reaching out to more like-minded individuals passionate about event planning and creativity. Engaging with others in this community not only helps in sharing ideas but also builds valuable relationships that can lead to collaborative ventures. By sharing tips, experiences, and insights on platforms like Lemon8, I aim to inspire others to explore their creative passions in the events industry.
