HI! I'm Hanna and I believe in thoughtful, organized, and beautiful events that delight guests and give them a warm feeling for months after. Small touches and purposeful execution will almost always lead you to success. Given enough lead time, I think anyone can plan a spectacular small or large scale event. More recently, I began working on a passion project - my travel blog. My experience planning events effortlessly transition into planning incredible trips. I will also be teaching travel tips and tricks that I have learned. Background: I have been event planning in the Santa Barbara area for the last five years. As a junior in college, I took an incredible event planning internship in Oahu, Hawaii. Upon graduating, I immediately jumped into an events career, working on weddings, personal events, a little corporate planning, and worked the longest in non-profit event management. In my courses, I want to share everything I have learned over the years in event planning and traveling. There is a learning curve for traveling well and planning events, but I hope my classes will help you bypass some of the trial-by-fire aspects. I cannot wait to see what events you create and where you go! Warmly, Hanna
