A: My contract, my posting of contents, my package and process.
Q: Why was it important for you to join EBS?
A: Embracing the opportunity to learn, adapt, and make the most out of the experience. Be open to new challenges and experiences, and remember that growth often comes from stepping out of your comfort zone, because I can testify that it wasn’t an easy process.
Q: How has been in EBS made you a better planner to prospective clients?
A: Being in EBS has significantly enhanced my ability to plan events for prospective clients in a sweet way. Through rigorous training and practical experience. I’ve developed a keen understanding of event logistics, creative problem solving and client communication.
The fine tuning of my process and customer journey ensures that new clients benefit from a seamless and enjoyable event planning experience. With the skills and knowledge acquired, I believe my new clients are extremely fortunate to have me as their event planner, as I bring a wealth of expertise, dedication, and innovation to every project.

Q: How did you feel showing up on your first instagram LIVE?
A: My IG live lasted almost an hour! Can you imagine? I wasn’t so shy at first because I’ve actually moderated at different virtual webinars. But yes doing that personally and on my page, the feeling was epic. I was short of words at the beginning, but I was able to catch up on the long run.
Q: We had an assignment of writing 750 words daily. How did this help you?
A: It actually provided me a dedicated space to reflect on my experiences, emotions, and goals. Helping me gain insights into my life, by writing out my thoughts. It also helped me clarify my thinking and make better decisions. Over time, that habit of journaling has contributed to my personal growth and a deeper understanding of myself.
