Loved reading this! Having witnessed parts of your career and personal journey over all these years, it was so inspiring to see all the threads come together in your story. It’s those experiences, challenges and defining moments that shape who we become, and you’re all the better for them. Brava! ❤️

Thank you Val-- as someone who truly has been there since the beginning in Boston, your comment means so much! A journey it's been indeed. At the time I couldn't have imagined ever leaving fashion...which goes to show, life is anything but predictable. 😊

Thanks so much for saying so. Only realizing now, those years gave me the lens through which I see travel today.
