I graduated in 2009 with a dual BA in Communications and Art History, and and an MS in Communications Management from Simmons College in Boston.

​

I didn’t want to leave the city so I planted roots in Massachusetts and built a career around my love of design, art, philanthropy, and of course, event production! I've been in the industry ever since - working for various nonprofits, museums, and higher education institutions in the Greater Boston area.

 

During that time, I gained valuable connections with industry-leading experts and vendors, and developed creative ways to extract the most value from any budget - guaranteeing that the events I produce are filled with unforgettable moments. 

 

In 2015 I started Champagne & Confetti: Celebrations by Catalina, taking on a select number of private clients, and as of 2023, we're taking this adventure to the next level!

 

I love to travel internationally and locally - exploring new dining spots, galleries, and speakeasies around Boston and beyond. I'm also a miniaturist, you might see me selling my witchy/nerdy minis at art shows around New England!

 

When I want to relax, I love visiting botanical gardens, working in my own garden at home, trying out a new recipe, or binging a new show.
