Event and
Project Planning

Your workshops launch without last-minute panic. Vendor relationships run smoothly. Attendees receive timely, professional communication. Logistics are handled before you even think to ask. You show up as the confident leader your audience expects, not the frazzled coordinator scrambling behind the scenes.

Travel Planning
and Logistics

Your travel is planned around your energy and schedule. Itineraries are carefully curated, logistics anticipated, contingencies mapped out. You arrive prepared, rested and focused on the work that matters, not recovering from travel stress or missing connections.

About
Sparked Voice

Hey there, I'm Rica! For over a decade, I've been the person behind the scenes making sure everything runs smoothly so leaders can focus on what truly matters.


I've supported teams and senior leaders across hospitality, nonprofit and healthtech - coordinating VIP events at a Forbes 5-star resort, serving as the trusted go-to for a major destination marketing organization's sales division, and supporting executive recruiting for a fast-paced startup. I've worked in environments where clarity, discretion, and follow-through were essential.


Throughout my career, my mentors encouraged me to find my voice and to step into my strengths. When my family moved from San Diego, California to the Netherlands, that transition became the catalyst to build Sparked Voice.


Now, I use my voice to amplify the impact of purpose-driven entrepreneurs integrating social or environmental good into the core of their work. I believe when these businesses thrive, they create jobs, serve communities, and prove there's a better way to build companies. That's the world I'm working toward: one where everyone is thriving, supported by businesses that lead with purpose, care, and intention. Sparked Voice supports impact-led entrepreneurs of all gender identities, abilities, cultural backgrounds, ages, and lived experiences. I believe our differences strengthen the work we do and the world we're building together.

Her natural judgment, attention to detail, and commitment to quality make her an outstanding partner for any client.
