Meet The Team
I stumbled into the bridal gown business over a decade ago when I took a part time job at a local bridal shop and I haven’t looked back. Every year I fall more in love with my brides, the gowns and the industry as a whole. After eventually learning the business and working my way up, I began running the shop where I started my career in bridal. Once in that role I realized that starting my own shop was something I truly wanted and dreamed of. In late 2018 the dream of opening my own store became a reality, it seemed crazy and impossible but in March of 2019, I took the plunge. I quit my job running that bridal boutique in California and moved to Las Vegas, The Story Bridal Couture was born!
Fun Fact: A handful of years ago my partner roped me into working large scale music events with him and I fell in love with it! So on occasion you might find me working in merchandising at large scale events like Coachella and Stagecoach!

Ever since I was a little girl, fashion has been my passion. I grew up loving everything about style, from playing with Bratz dolls and dressing up Barbie, Polly Pocket, and Monster High, to being inspired by fashion icons like Hannah Montana. I was always a girly girl, constantly expressing myself through clothes and accessories. While I explored many hobbies over the years, fashion has always been the one constant in my life—my creative outlet and the way I express who I am.
In high school, I studied fashion and graphic design, further fueling my love for creativity. My inspiration to focus on bridal fashion comes from a very special woman in my life—my great aunt, who recently passed away. She was a strong, confident woman and a talented seamstress who owned her own bridal shop. She made wedding dresses for my nana and aunties, and her passion for creating beauty has inspired me forever.
I've worked in retail, but my favorite experiences have always been connecting with people on a personal level. Helping someone feel beautiful for such a significant moment in their life brings me immense joy. Styling allows me to merge my creativity with the privilege of making someone feel confident and radiant. Who wouldn’t love that as a job?
Fun fact: I love astrology and I can give a pretty good birth chart read about your life without really knowing you.

I have always had a love for fashion and coming into bridal industry has only continued to grow my passion. I especially have an interest in alternative style and can offer great insight for a bride searching for a less traditional look on their wedding day. I recently graduated from UNLV with a bachelors in Business Marketing and I hope to use my skills at The Story Bridal to connect more brides with their dream dress. I have also studied fashion and graphic design; and my love of design continues to follow me to this day. Some of my personal interests include reading, thrifting new clothes, spending time with friends, cuddling with my cat, and playing board games. I can’t wait to meet you and I hope I can help you say yes to your dress!
Fun fact: In my free time, I practice circus arts with a particular focus on aerial arts! My favorite apparatus is lyra (hoop) but aerial pole is a close second.
