Event Planning | AEC

Owner, Maman

Tell us a bit about your career path.

The foundation skills I learned at LaSalle College while doing my AEC program in Event Planning proved to be extremely valuable. The specialized programs, the teachers and the connections and relationships I made while studying there all played a role as major stepping stones in my career.

Although life has led me into a different direction away from event planning, the knowledge and skills I acquired at LaSalle College has greatly contributed to my success, as they can be applied in many different industries, including restaurant management.

I opened my first bakery and café in New York City in 2014. Today, Maman has five locations in New York City, and one in Toronto.

I am entertaining the idea of expanding towards the West Coast, but I don’t want Maman to lose its charm and attention to detail. I would like to expand the brand itself, perhaps launching a Maman pour Bébé line. I have many ideas for brand expansion, but it will all depend on what is feasible, and how many hours a night I want to sleep!
