The Real Deal

I know every word to every hip-hop song from the 90’s! I also secretly want to be a free safety for the USC Trojans Football team (Fight On!). I’m a workaholic, and inputting everything into organized spreadsheets makes me insanely happy. I have an amazing husband, twin boys, a daughter and a tiny dog whom I love with my whole heart! Getting to work alongside my best friend every day adds joy and fulfillment to our journey, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Official Biz

WITH 15+ YEARS EXPERIENCE, my expertise is orchestrating large-scale corporate events, conferences, grand openings, retreats and milestone celebrations. 

My meticulous attention to detail, effective communication, and adept project management skills enable me to flawlessly execute multi-day, high-energy events tailored to the unique clients.

My portfolio includes annual fundraisers for non-profit organizations like MemorialCare, Salvation Army and Easterseals. I have also implemented quarterly employee engagement events for national brands like Johnson & Johnson, Intersect Power, Tevora and First Service Residential. I design and execute events ranging in size from intimate 20-person investor dinners to 2000-person sporting events like RX3 Growth’s Charity NFL Flag Football Tournament, raising more than $3 million for local and national causes. 

My journey began with a Bachelor’s degree in Public Relations from the University of Southern California, leading to roles as an Event Planner and Public Information Specialist for the City of Anaheim. Facing a layoff during the 2009 recession, I seized the opportunity to create Intertwined Inc. with Katie, chasing our dream of “intertwining” our passions with our purposes!

Because of this shared vision to MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT through what we do, we founded RAD CAMP in 2014 to provide programs for adults and children with developmental disabilities. 

It is now the largest overnight camp of its kind in the state of California, and we have been honored as Orange County’s 125 Most Influential by the OC Register for supporting, motivating and empowering those around us to “Rise Above” the barriers associated with disabilities. I’m grateful to live my purpose and RAD passion with our remarkable team of people every single day!

The Real Deal

I love cookie dough more than I love cookies and would wear my yoga clothes all day, every day if possible. I’m obsessed with anything and everything Louis Vuitton, but also love a good Target find! I work out every morning so I can indulge in a glass of wine every night, and I believe in dreaming big, working hard and making the impossible a reality! I have a wonderful husband named Tim and two sweet boys, Alex and Riley, who are the center of my life.

Official Biz

I have been in the industry for over 15 years now! Specializing in luxury event planning and highly-curated design, I execute full-service production and create branded experiences complete with large-scale activations for all of my clients across the globe.

Collaborating with esteemed names like Our Place, Century Biz Solutions, Southern California Association of Governments, Ketchum and the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation, I’ve elevated and amplified their missions through tailored, unforgettable event experiences.

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management with an emphasis in Event Management from San Diego State University. Postgraduate, I served as a Meeting Coordinator planning events for three Fortune 500 companies including American Express and Allergen until my lifelong friend and business partner Meghan approached me about starting Intertwined Inc. We began working together on the floor of my first apartment, and today we have 24 full-time employees and have partnered with over 1,000 clients and brands!

WE ARE PROUD TO have built a company KNOWN NOT ONLY FOR its exceptional work BUT ALSO FOR ITS EXCEPTIONAL TEAM.

Our shared passion led us to establish RAD Camp, an almost entirely volunteer-run non-profit organization for individuals with developmental disabilities. Honored as Orange County’s 25 Most Influential by Modern Luxury, we’re committed to making a lasting difference through our shared vision of inclusivity and passion to continually “Rise Above” in everything we do.

THE REAL DEAL

I am a self-proclaimed french fry connoisseur and always have a bottle of Cholula in my purse... because you never know when you will need to spice things up a bit! I can quote 99% of Friends episodes. My claim to fame: Taught Ben Affleck what a FDC is (in case you don't know, it stands for Fountain Diet Coke). I am an avid Arizona Wildcat Basketball, LA Kings and Rams Fan. I am always down for a road trip or any excuse to get out of town and see new places!

OFFICIAL BIZ

I received a Bachelor's degree in General Studies with an emphasis in Science, Technology, Health, and Society and a Minor in Psychology from the University of Arizona - proud Wildcat! I worked in the non-profit sector for over 7 years doing special events ranging from small donor gatherings to large scaled galas, concerts, poker tournaments, and film festivals. I am a huge advocate and have a special love for the special needs community. My working mantra is: When the going gets tough, throw your hair in a bun, put some lipstick on, chug some coffee, and conquer the world. I currently live in Los Angeles with my four legged Morkie baby, Phoebe (bring it full circle to my Friends obsession).

THE REAL DEAL

When I am not in work mode you can find me at the beach, on the lake, shopping, working out, or spending time with family and friends! I love all things fashion, but if I could I’d wear athleisure every day! My favorite caffeine boost is an Iced Chai from Starbucks or a fountain Diet Coke. My life forever changed when I found a love and passion for assisting people with special needs. My guilty pleasure is a chill night watching a good chick flick with a charcuterie board and a glass of Whispering Angel!

OFFICIAL BIZ

I attended the University of Alabama where I received my Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Management with a focus in Meeting and Event Planning. People have told me for a long time that I would thrive in the event world, and I am SO glad I listened! I was fortunate to find a passion for people with special needs by volunteering at RAD Camp when I was in high school. During college, I interned for Intertwined Events and fell in love with everything about the company and knew I had to continue working there. I am so excited for my future in the event world and feel incredibly grateful for the team of amazing women I get to work alongside!

THE REAL DEAL

I am a Southern California native and love to unwind from a long wedding weekend with a nice bold Napa Cabernet with my two fur babies, Aldo & Carter, and the hubby! When I am not in planning mode, you can find me traveling and exploring new places or here locally at Disneyland! I am a reality TV show fanatic, love to line dance to a good country jam, and live for a girls’ night out. I love all things weddings and pretty things so let’s grab a glass of wine or bubbly and start the fun!

OFFICIAL BIZ

I always had a passion for planning but it truly flourished while I attended Cal State Long Beach! I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Studies with a minor in Event Planning then began working for luxury planning companies ever since. With over eleven years in the hospitality industry and over six years in the special event industry, I still have an adoration for building new relationships and helping others!

THE REAL DEAL

I live in Costa Mesa with my 2 kiddos. I love biking to the beach and exploring new coffee shops, restaurants, and fun places in our neighborhood. When I’m not with my fam, I love some solo downtime. My self-care looks a little like: drinking wine, reading a good book, manicures and pedicures, and spending time in the ceramics studio! I have a bohemian hipster vibe and am go with the flow, while also a fan of deadlines, to-do lists and organization!

OFFICIAL BIZ

I was lucky enough to start my event career while interning with our co-owner Meghan. Following my internship and graduation from Cal State Fullerton, I went on to be an events coordinator and board member for a non-profit benefiting youth through skateboarding. After my time there, I worked at a specialty rental company, Archive, where I learned the back end of designing weddings and events from the ground up! I met planners, built relationships, and gained a mentor who helped me navigate my way into the wedding world and gave me the confidence to found and operate a successful design and decor company. While I loved working in the event industry, I truly craved the team atmosphere and wanted to work with a dynamic group, which led me to my home at Intertwined Events.

THE REAL DEAL

I truly believe Monica Geller is my alter ego. I love making to-do lists, organizing for fun, and am the definition of an obsessive compulsive cleaner. I grew up in the wine country of Sonoma County where I developed an everlasting love for wine and cheese. I adore all things related to events and creative design! When I’m not working, I love spending time outdoors with my husband and dogs, going to sporting events and exploring new places!

OFFICIAL BIZ

I graduated from St. Mary’s College of California on an athletic scholarship playing basketball and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology. After graduation, I decided to make my way down to sunny Southern California – best decision ever! I took my love of sports into my career where I began in the Athletic Department handling events for UCSD, as well as USD. From there I began coordinating social media and events for a wide array of clients including fashion brands, educational institutions, real estate companies, and more. With many years of experience in event management and marketing, I have helped plan, design, and coordinate countless events. I love the creative design process and seeing all of the planning and hard work come to life!

THE REAL DEAL

Growing up I wanted to either be an Olympic Swimmer or an Ambulance Driver. This serves me well as a wedding planner… “just keep swimming” and the one you call in an emergency is the name of my game! I have a passion for the special needs community and was a behavior aid back in the day! I have finished 3 half marathons and 1 sprint triathlon. I workout because I have an intense love of ice cream! I adore spending time with friends, traveling and watching all things Bravo TV!

OFFICIAL BIZ

I have been in the event industry for over 20 years! After graduating from Arizona State University, I got my start in events as a Corporate Meeting Planner for a Fortune 500 company in Phoenix, Arizona. Since then I have worked for the City of Costa Mesa to plan and execute all of the events for their year-long 50th Anniversary Celebration, as a Catering Sales Manager for a private Country Club, as an entrepreneur with my own planning company and now have found my perfect home at Intertwined Events. I live in South OC with my husband and adorable rescue pups, Lily & Snoop!

THE REAL DEAL

Whether it's lounging, swimming or surfing, when the sun is out, you will find me at the beach. I am obsessed with statement earrings and rarely leave the house without a pair. I love exploring new cities, restaurants and coffee shops with my husband (and pup!). My diet mostly consists of kale and donuts. It's all about balance, right? I love mixing textures and colors in unexpected ways. My absolute favorite thing is seeing the final product on the event day and watching all of the details we have planned come to life.

OFFICIAL BIZ

I graduated from Cal Poly Pomona receiving my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Human Resources and Management. I did some work in HR before pursuing my dream of becoming an event planner. I have been blessed to work for the likes of Bob Gail Special Events, Jesi Haack and Bash Please, but I have found my home with Intertwined Events helping plan, design and coordinate the most breath-taking events. I live in Costa Mesa with my husband and the cutest dog in the world, Benny the Jet Rodriguez Desprez.

THE REAL DEAL

Growing up, I thought I was destined for greatness, aka being a seasoned regular on SNL. I had a passion for iMovie, and forcing my sweet and loving family to watch my latest and greatest cinematic masterpiece. However, as much as I enjoy being the main character, I love following  the story of someone else. I typically read two books at a time, one in the morning and one at night. And in case of an emergency, you can find me at the local Barnes and Noble, road tripping with my best friends, or in my car listening to Taylor Swift on repeat.

OFFICIAL BIZ

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Communications with an emphasis in Entertainment and Tourism from Cal State Fullerton. I kickstarted my event planning career while interning at Intertwined Events my senior year of college. I have a strong passion for working with people with special needs and enjoy working on producing our non-profit, RAD Camp! It’s truly such a special experience to work in a space partnered with something I hold so close to my heart!

Our cause is RAD!

A portion of all event sales go to support RAD CAMP, a 501(c)3 that SUPPORTS THOSE WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES, a cause close to the hearts of the Ladies of Intertwined.

RAD Camp is an almost entirely volunteer-run organization offering an awesome camp experience for hundreds of adults and children with developmental disabilities, much-deserved respite for their caregivers and a life-changing volunteer experience for the local community.
