My Story

For starters, I love dogs and this page honors all the pups I was fortunate to call my pets. My pitty, my NOLA rescue, my New Mexico rescue and my Puerto Rican rescue.
Being raised in a bi-cultural household outside of NYC, I learned the art of code-switching early on, even within my own extended family. I lost my father to cancer when I was 12; then it was just my mom and me…and my first love, my pitty Taffy (making her internet debut to the right).
I was in NYC for 9-11 and NOLA for Hurricane Katrina, so I am pretty familiar with relocating because of man-made and natural disasters, and the grief and loss that comes along.
As you can imagine, growing up where I did shaped my personality. I am direct, specific, kind, and I catch myself saying the quiet part out loud.
…& Now
After relocating throughout the country for a decade, I settled in Denver where I try to enjoy everything the Rocky Mountains has to offer (oh! But the traffic on 70!) despite being a water baby at heart.
I love to geek out on music, Broadway, historical fiction and animals. I love my plants, but have nothing close to a green thumb. I know when I enter a craft store the staff can smell an anxious novice at their threshold. I love pens…I have what some may call an unhealthy obsession, but I defer to my therapist to diagnose that.
I’m a hobbyist musician and love live music, so if there’s a band in town, you can often find me singing and dancing at a show (hello Red Rocks! How lucky are we?). I am also a big fan of sound baths, yoga, hiking, stand up paddle boarding, food, and exploring the world.
I live with my two school-age daughters in Denver after having successfully navigated a divorce which has led me to a new journey of co-parenting and the challenges of blended families. We also have two rescue puppies in our home, Confetti and Cookie.
