Meet your planner
Hi, I’m Jill.
I began planning galas, client appreciation events and weddings in Los Angeles more than 25 years ago. Since then, I’ve spent a decade as a director at an international nonprofit, planning galas and community walks with donors and volunteers.
When you hire Magnolia Events, you work directly with me.
