~What I believe: Vendors aren’t just paying for booth space — they’re trusting me to help them succeed. That means using my experience, connections, and hustle to bring in customers, build a great vibe, and make sure the event works for them. If they do well, I’ve done my job. I want every vendor to feel like they were part of something worth showing up for.
