About Mikaela Kostaras

When I was young, I dreamed of being at the \"top.\" In my mind, this looked like a Fortune 500 CEO, a wildly successful \"rags to riches\" entrepreneur, a \"business woman\" who traveled the world in freshly pressed suits.I chased this dream for decades. I aced my exams, turned my homework in on time, volunteered, interned, earned my degrees, and got my foot in the door. Successful in several roles from bartender to wedding planner, sales manager to event design, I always managed to go above and beyond the expectations of the position at hand.**Instead of simply meeting and exceeding my sales quota, I designed new marketing materials and an entire website, managed and styled photo shoots.**Instead of simply managing a timeline, I curated small, yet meaningful moments and implemented unique touches to someone\'s wedding day they will remember for decades to come.**Instead of continuing to chase a dream to reach the \"top,\" I wrote and published a powerful book sharing hard-earned wisdom and advice, started and grew a social media account to 150k engaged, negotiated brand partnerships with internationally recognized brands, and learned that my goal should have never been the destination (the \"top\"), but to enjoy the journey along the way.I am adaptable, flexible, and one of the most creative individuals you\'ll ever come across. I am efficient and productive, persuasive, engaging, and always see things through to the end. I\'m an avid learner and observer, and hope to never stop evolving, growing, and finding the perfect fit for my array of talents, vast knowledge, and unique ability to put a creative, yet competitive spin on anything I touch.
