Josette joined Meriah in June 2012, eager to learn about the Event Planning industry and begin assisting Meriah with all aspects of this exciting field. She was born and raised in New York City, having moved to Bethlehem, PA after marrying her husband, James, in July 2011. She earned her Bachelor's in Psychology from NYU and her Master's in Teaching Early Childhood/Childhood Education from Fordham University. She loves meeting new people and will surely be a warm, supporting professional and friend throughout your planning experience!

Josette also owns Cuddles' Cupcake Bar, a unique spin on the ever-popular cupcake trend. Her cupcakery is unlike most others, as her customers create their own cupcakes from start to finish. Since opening in November 2011, Josette has not only provided for personal indulgence, but she's also served baby showers, bridal showers, engagement parties, themed parties, corporate events, anniversaries, and a couple of weddings!
