“Do one thing every day that scares you.”

Because why not? Taking risks and being adventurous are two ways that I approach life.

Growing up in the craziest, but most beautiful city in the world, I have adopted the ‘I can do anything’ mentality, a walking speed of 50 mph and a love for events, fashion and art. I don’t nearly have as much designer shoes as Blair Waldorf or own any of Olivia Pope’s white outfits, but I do embody both women’s drive to get what they want.

I am also a proud travel addict. My first and only tattoo ‘liberare’ (“to be free” in Latin) truly exemplifies my outlook on life and everything it has to offer. I’ve come to realize that my passport stamps and SONY camera are my best friends. And since we’re talking about obsessions, I have to confess that I’m in an unhealthy relationship with cheese and wine, but they both get me through the day, so I guess they’re not such bad lovers after all.

As a proud Native New Yorker, I am fascinated and inspired by the people who live here. As I was taking the train one day, I realized we all have different backgrounds and walks of life but we share a common ground and that’s our love for the city. I wanted to create a safe and open platform to shed light on real stories of real people living in NYC. I invite guests who are doing badass things in their careers to tell their stories while also normalizing struggles, challenges and insecurities because we all have them! I love storytelling and I hope you guys get inspired, motivated and moved by the people that make up the greatest city in the world!
