GET TO KNOW SHI

People often ask how I went from earning a PhD in Analytical Chemistry to planning weddings.

The truth is, my heart has always been drawn to people.

While pursuing my PhD at Purdue University, I spent my evenings and weekends organizing TEDx events, where I discovered the incredible power of storytelling and bringing people together. After graduation, I joined Intel as a senior engineer, where I learned to think strategically, solve complex problems, and lead with precision.

But I kept coming back to the same question: How do we create moments that truly matter?

Today, I design modern intercultural weddings because I believe every wedding teaches me something new about love. Every couple has a unique story, every family carries meaningful traditions, and every celebration is an opportunity to bridge cultures with intention and respect.

Beyond weddings, I produce community events that create meaningful human connection. Whether it's a wedding, a conference, or a networking gathering, my purpose is the same: to create experiences that remind us we are far more similar than we are different. Signature events I produce include She Dares to Rise and Dare to Strut Dog Fashion Show.

For me, event planning has never been about logistics. It's about creating spaces where people feel seen, celebrated, and connected.

Bringing people together to celebrate life's meaningful moments, one story at a time.
