I have been fiercely independent since I was a child. Moving to the beat of my own drum has been the dance of my life. Never shying away from a lesser known path has been my gravitational pull. And although I have rebelled from following the rules and the conventional conversation of society, making friends and community has always come naturally to me. Traveling and living all over the world, taking risks in my personal and professional life and imagining a better world has been the norm. While I have made great strides in the gastronomy/wine/hospitality world in my 20s and 30s, I find myself deepening my connection to spirituality, wellness and philosophy to be my true dialogue with humanity. Serial entrepreneurial endeavors, cooking/hosting friends, listening and collecting music and bedside poetry and literature are my everyday life.
Feeding my never ending curiosity with adventure, observation and deep dialogue. Unlearning, unraveling and nourishing the inner and outer world around me. Engaging in the unfamiliar. Meeting conflict and difficulties with great strength and deep faith in love. Kindness is the greatest and most universal language, let’s not forget to smile.
