I am the owner of Gathering Boards by ezpz gatherings. After a wonderful and successful career in corporate communications, I took a step back after having children. Not wanting to return to the corporate grind, I began freelance writing, which I still do and love, but had always dreamt of owning a business of my own so I started ezpz gatherings.

 

I’ve always loved to entertain, enjoy food and wine, and have dabbled in both interior and floral design. I started Gathering Boards in 2020 as a way to bring all these interests together in one place… on a cheese and charcuterie board!

 

While my job is to make life simple for customers, It's also important to keep my life simple. Say no when you have to. And don't feel guilty about it. 

  

I was a lifer. All-girls is all I knew. And it worked for me. I had the opportunity to choose a different school, but Ellis was home. So when I went to Penn State, it was literally the first time I was in a classroom with men. During a lecture in a women's studies course during freshman year, my professor quoted a study about females raising their hands in class at a far less percentage than their male counterparts. I was blown away! Why would a female NOT raise her hand?! It was then that I realized the impact my Ellis education had on me as a young woman who was never afraid to, among other things, raise her hand.
