Katherine Shorter

I love to have fun, live life, meet new people and be a blessing and source of support for as many people as I am able.

For me, fun includes traveling the world, scuba diving, eating, going to the movies, kicking butt on Michael Jackson: The Experience® and Just Dance® (s) on the Wii® and hosting parties!

• Attention to Detail: The big and little details are what get and keep people talking about your event! Making sure that everything is in place and taken care of in a timely fashion is so important. When planning an event, I’m very into the details, so much to the point that I can be a little obsessive with making sure things are just right.
• Creativity: When it comes to creativity, I am proud to say that I think outside of the box as much as possible. From finding inspiration in the clearance bin to something that I see being worn, everything around me has the potential to inspire something fabulous!
• Organization: Be it an organized mess or multi-colored file folders, I am a very organized individual. Anyone can say that they are organized, but you should know that my clothes and socks are arranged in dr
