about annie

Even as a little girl, I had an unusual desire for perfection and a tenacious curiosity for figuring out how to accomplish it.  It was not uncommon for 5 year old Annie to be found in her bedroom with the furniture completely rearranged.  If I was inspired, having imagined a better layout, there was no stopping me.  I somehow figured out if I wedged myself in between a wall and a large piece of furniture, I could just push with my legs, and voila! I loved analyzing, solving problems, and most of all, exceeding people’s expectations!  A surprise to no one who knows me, I was also the bossy little girl.  I knew just how I wanted things done and I was excellent at directing others. 

 

Little did I know then, that those innate characteristics –establishing incredibly high expectations and standards, and upholding them–would find their perfect home. I was fortunate enough, to begin my career, stepping out of college right into the highest benchmark in luxury hospitality, Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts. 

 

I spent the next 18 years there, putting my natural talents to work!  Throughout my experience, working with people and planning thousands of special events in their lives, the most important and fulfilling thing for me has consistently been helping people have exceptional experiences. I love being able to share my expertise, as well as make the most of all of those natural qualities that come with being an incurable perfectionist with impossibly high standards!
