Original owners and founders of Trudys Brides & Special Occasions. Trudy, herself, is known throughout the bridal and prom industry as one of the leading buyers in the country. Trudys is always the first to bring in the newest styles every season. Trudy and Roger started a small clothing store over 43 years ago in the current location, The Pruneyard in Campbell. Trudys has become the leading place for Bridal and Special Occasion dresses in the Bay Area.

I have been lucky to be a part of Trudys' Family and Legacy, for over 15 years, where I’ve developed my skills in understanding the bridal business and each bride's unique vision and style. This expertise has led me to my current role as General Manager and Buyer. I enjoy coaching and motivating our team of stylists and am responsible for managing the store, inventory and ordering. For the past 9 years, I have helped carefully curate our collection to ensure we offer the most exquisite and diverse selection of bridal gowns and accessories. I believe that every bride deserves a personalized and memorable experience, and I am dedicated to making their bridal journey as special and stress-free as possible. As a bridal stylist and design ambassador, I always challenge myself to beat their best dress by choosing what I call a "Wild-Card" which is unexpected and most often ends up being their perfect "I Do" dress, fitting them and their personality perfectly.

I’ve been with Trudys for ten years, and I absolutely love being part of an industry that celebrates life’s most meaningful moments. As Operations Manager, I’m responsible for hiring our amazing staff, handling all customer concerns, and making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. I’m also part of the buying team that selects our prom dress collections each year. My journey with Trudys actually began as a customer—twelve years ago, I found my prom dress here with the help of Trudy herself. She made the experience so personal and unforgettable, and now I’m proud to create that same magic for others. Helping people feel confident, beautiful, and celebrated is truly the best part of what I do.
