Meet our Lead Storyteller, Judy Le.
Judy is adventurous, free-spirited, and is continually seeking beauty in everything around her. She actively gives back to her community and has a huge heart for nonprofit work.
You can often find Judy binge watching Friends or The Office while working on events and crafting in an oversized t-shirt and a messy bun until 4am. The only thing she can cook confidently is ramen cups and she is a hoarder (of many things). She auditions for The Voice in the shower, and is obsessed with her Shiba Inu mix and mini Schnauzer.
She's not your typical planner- she's a storyteller.
​
Judy loves stories. She loves to share her adventures, the funny things that happen to her daily and bringing happiness to others. She loves hearing others' stories; their history, their aspirations, and what makes them unique. With a desire for planning memorable events and storytelling, came Your Story Events.
​
The idea behind Your Story Events is to connect with our clients through the power of storytelling. We are invested in learning about our clients to be able to capture and embody their personalities and vision to create a unique and memorable experience.
​
Everybody has a story....what's yours?
​
Make each day your masterpiece.

There she provides hospitality through comfort and care to the families, which also translates to her clients working with YSE.
