Team Bios

Vicky Choy, President and Event Planner

After eight years in the corporate world, Vicky founded Event Accomplished in 2004 when she was looking for a different career where she could work closely with her clients, make an impact in their lives, and feel relatively quickly the sense of accomplishment when all your hard work has come together. Vicky’s brother thinks that she has landed the perfect job that uses her innate ability to bring order to chaos. Her prior business experiences prepared her well for event planning. In her last position, she was a proposal manager for $1 billion in prospective work, managing all aspects from bid strategy to staff coordination to proposal production, requiring a combination of creativity, attention to detail, customer understanding, business savvy, and ability to work under extremely stressful conditions. Prior to that, she spent eight years in managing project schedules and costs on domestic and international engineering and construction projects. She holds a Masters degree in Business Administration with a concentration in entrepreneurship/small business and event management from the George Washington University and a bachelors degree in engineering from the University of Pennsylvania. She often volunteers at local events to further her knowledge of event management and can be seen attending many industry events

Megan Benarick Farris, Stationery Queen/Event Consultant

Megan adds several valuable dimensions to the Event Accomplished team. Megan will be the point of contact for the Papeterie line. A Northern Virginia native, Megan's extensive knowledge of the area will be an asset. She knows more about the people and places of Alexandria and its surrounding areas than anybody. Second, the ability to analyze an event and see where the risks are is an important skill for an event planner. Megan's experience in risk management allows her to think about the “what if” of your event and to always think of workable Plan “B”. Her attention to detail, creativity, proactive attitude, and ability to read people - all traits that will ensure that your event is a success! Megan holds a Master’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University and a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from James Madison University.

Juanice Jenkins, Event Coordinator-in-Training

Juanice joined Event Accomplished LLC in 2007, acting as an event assistant at nearly every event since then. With compliments from guests about her calm demeanor and positive attitude, Juanice is currently training to coordinate her own events. Many times a bridesmaid, Juanice has experienced the ins and outs of weddings and drawing from these, she knows what makes an enjoyable event. Juanice completed the Meeting and Event Planning Certificate Program at UNC Charlotte and holds a degree in Communication/Public Relations from the North Carolina A&T State University.
