- How did you get started doing this type of work?
At a very early age I developed an entrepreneurial spirit from family entrepreneurs who owned small businesses. I got my first feel of planning parties while attending Lincoln, and I loved it! My last year at Lincoln University I started planning events; after graduating I realized that my colleagues, friends and family members always included me in on the planning of parties, social weekends, and class reunion etc. I dreamed of being an event planner and creating fabulous events for others. In my mid-twenties I formed a catering company with my mother; by my thirties I dedicated myself to acquiring the skills to become a successful business woman by serving in leadership positions in numerous organizations and continuing my education. After years of planning social and special events and taking business courses specializing in entrepreneurship, convention and special event planning, I launched my event planning business, Jazzmins, in November 2010 at the St. Louis Ameristar Casino.
