REBECCA INDERHEES,
EVENT PLANNER
Rebecca was born in Round Rock, Texas, but she spent the last 12 years adventuring in Germany, California, and New York before deciding she was ready to return home to the great state of Texas. Earning a degree in Drama Performance with minors in Musical Theater, English, and Business (oh my!) from Hofstra University on Long Island, she developed a love for events towards the end of her college career when she realized theater and events have a lot in common. Using her theater skills has proved beneficial thus far and she can't wait to see what the future brings! Although new to the Austin Event's Industry, she brings with her a fresh perspective and an open mind. Her attention to detail and organization make her a force to be reckoned with!
In her spare time, Rebecca loves to paint, read a good book, or spend time with her super adorable cat named Hanes.
