In 2020, I started writing a weekly email mostly out of wanting to connect with my people during Covid. Along the way, I got a little brazen in asking others to be featured. The good, compelling, humble humans that make me (and many) smile.

I’ve spent my career strategically marketing and communicating brands, executives, celebrity chefs, leading journalists (the ones I dreamed of being one day). For sure raised by some of the best in the business and doing work I love–but to be the “writer” myself publicly? That’s a brave new world.

Two things are very true for me: I’ve always found writing out my thoughts a cathartic way to work through things and I am exceptionally drawn to finding the relatable side and story of people.

And so simpatico was born.

I get to interview incredible people, capture them through my lens, and share their stories — it’s a place I have found I am the most comfortable and deeply enjoy.
