Bio
Christina Lybecker
Sandra is amazing! She is always on top of things and handles stressful situations with grace and finesse. She is a dedicated team member and a pleasure to work with.
Livy Hendrix
Sandra has an uncanny ability to predict exactly what the customer desires before they even know it. She has a fine eye for detail and relishes making the event or meeting absolutely perfect. She approaches her projects in a very personal way, therefore the best outcome is always within reach as she herself, is invested. I would welcome working with Sandra again in both event planning and administration, however her talents are exploited nicely when she is managing events and projects.
