Meet Haley!

Q: How did you become part of The Center?

After graduating from college and moving to Cincinnati last July, I started a small photography business.  While I loved almost everything about my work, from coordinating with clients to posting about shoots online, teamwork was an integral part of my upbringing and education and I truly missed being part of a team. So, I started investigating other avenues and came across a job posting for The Center. It sounded like a perfect fit! I got to meet and speak with Carly, Alana, and Courtney and the more I heard about the position, the more I fell in love with it. When I finally saw the space, I was so excited about the opportunity; I couldn’t wait to get started.

Q: Tell us a little about yourself?

I was born and raised in Southern Louisiana and graduated in 2012 from Hollins University in Virginia with a degree in English and Creative Writing. I love to travel and to learn and both of those interests lead me to Cincinnati last summer. I fell in love with the city and haven’t looked back!

Q: What are you most looking forward to?

I am looking forward to providing new clients with an outstanding experience during their time at The Center. I think knowing that someone has had a successful event and that I’ve played a part in that will be an amazing feeling.  Also, I cannot wait to meet with vendors and develop lasting relationships with local businesses.

Q: What are your hobbies or non-work related activities?

When I’m not working, I love to write and take photographs, dance, run, and if I’m feeling lazy, nothing beats having coffee with friends on the porch.

Q: Are there any trends that you would absolutely love or would love to see brides leave behind?

I am moved when couples incorporate important parts of themselves into their ceremonies. The best weddings I’ve ever been to have been simple and personal. I don’t know if there’s anything I’d like to see brides leave behind, but I’d love to see more couples bring evidence of what makes their connection unique to their ceremonies.
