Hi, I am Anakaren!

I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2021 with a Bachelor of Science and went on to graduate from Arizona State University in 2022 with a Master of Science. I am recently engaged to my partner Jonathan and we now also have a fur-baby named Loki who is our adoration. My favorite season is Fall and my favorite dish is enchiladas verdes. My love language is quality time and gifting. Lately, my favorite shows are Love Island USA S6 and the Bachelorette S21.

I have always loved gathering with friends and family to celebrate the special moments in life; life is too short not to! I have also always believed in doing everything with love, things just turn out better when you do. In traditional Virgo fashion, I am very detail-oriented and organized and while those traits serve me well in my role as a project manager, I wanted to have an avenue that allowed me to also be creative and nurture the desire to bring friends and family together to commemorate life’s special moments. Therefore, Con Cariño Picnics was born.

I can’t wait to meet you and be part of your special moment! <3
