TOAST has been blessed with some fabulous interns!!
Josslyn Garcia and Dayna Packer have been with us since the beginning of September 2009, and we couldn't be more thrilled. Kim and I want to say a big THANK YOU to our tireless interns who have continued to impress us with their enthusiasm, talent, and attitude.
Dayna is currently a senior art major at Westmont College. She just
recently began her internship with Toast and is loving every second of it. After studying abroad in Tuscany last fall, her love for travel and culture has greatly increased. She hopes to be able to travel the world someday. When she isn't traveling, or dreaming of her next adventure to a far-off land, Dayna loves to try new restaurants, experiment with new recipes, soak up rays on the beach, take dance classes, and hang out with her friends. Her interest in event planning was sparked when she fell in love with photography and began attending weddings as a photography assistant. Through viewing thousands of wedding photos, she realized her love for events goes
much deeper than photography and the details of each day are what really excite her. She loves organizing the intricacies of a celebration: the music, flowers, food, lighting, invitations, and then being able to make all those things come together, creating a flawless event. She hopes to spend the rest of her life helping others celebrate in the joys of their lives and thanks Toast for being a stepping stone along the way to her dream.
Josslynn is currently a junior English major at Westmont College. Her internship with Toast began recently and has confirmed all her thoughts that event planning is exactly how she wants to spend the rest of her life. When Josslynn is not at the Toast office she can be found baking with her girlfriends, reading the newest novel, playing volleyball at the nearest gym, blogging or visiting her family in Europe. She knew event planning was her calling in third grade after she saw the movie Ever After and proceeded to plan out her entire wedding, and since then has been enthralled by the idea of planning any and all events. She went on to be a part of Student Leaders in high school and was able to plan all of the dances and pep rallies, and what most inspired her were the little things that made each event unique. Her obsession with blogs and wedding magazines have only helped to grow her enthusiasm for event planning, by seeing all the different intricate parts of an event she realizes that the possibilities are endless. Her favorite part is taking the vision of the person, and giving them something even better than they could have imagined. She loves to make people happy, and what better way to do that than throwing a party? She is so glad to have the opportunity to work at Toast and can not wait to help with all the fabulous events they put on.
Tiffany Nguyen joined our Toast team in May of 2009. As soon as Tiffany started interning for us, we knew she was a great fit. Her internship soon turned into an assistant position. Tiffany has a classic and sophisticated sense of style that continues to impress us. Tiffany's potential in the event design industry is limitless. Her ability to be a leader, her innate sense of organization, and her great taste, has made her invaluable to us.
Tiffany is a senior Communication and Sociology double major at UC-Santa Barbara. The day she began working at TOAST, she knew that life was taking her exactly where she wanted to go. Tiffany loves simple pleasures, like the fragrance of fresh verbena, the romance of flickering candles, and the elegance of raw silk. She constantly has the travel bug, and loves vacations on a whim. She is so thankful for her position at TOAST, and is eagerly anticipating the creation of another beautiful celebration, followed by lasting memories.
