Hurricane Helene changed me.
It brought clarity—to my life, my work, and the community I love.
As I step into Spring 2025, I’m narrowing my focus and feeling deeply grateful. Juniper is still rooted in curated and crafted experiences, but moving forward, here’s where I’ll be centering my energy:
- Corporate & Nonprofit Event + Project Planning
- Helping Local Employers Showcase Western NC to Prospective Talent
I’m continuing to work closely with local organizations on everything from event planning and fundraising to community-focused candidate visits. That second piece—helping local employers showcase this region to prospective hires—has become something I really love. I offer personalized itineraries and serve as a community ambassador during interview visits to help job candidates (and their families) get a real feel for life in Western North Carolina.
As for my itinerary work:
I’m currently wrapping up existing itinerary planning through June 2025. After that, I’ll be phasing out individual trip and date planning as I transition fully into this next chapter.
To everyone who has trusted me with your weekends, honeymoons, local adventures, and getaways over the past three years—thank you. It’s been a true joy to help you experience this region in a way that feels personal and meaningful.
My calendar is nearly full with event and project work (in the best way!), and I’m staying grounded in what matters most—my family and our growing boys.
I’m also deeply grateful to be working contract alongside two incredible local organizations in the 2025–2026 years:
— Henderson County Partnership for Economic Development
— NC Apple Festival
And if we’re currently working on a vacation or local date package, don’t worry—I’m not going anywhere!
