A native New Yorker, I grew up in Brooklyn with a keen interest in photography and art at a very young age. I attended college to sharpen my skills as a photographer, and also learned how creativity could be infused into many other different areas.  I went to work for one of the most exclusive floral decorating companies in NYC, working in several high-end hotels such as The Pierre and The Plaza Hotel. 

My curious nature of living in other places took me to San Francisco, where I flourished and landed a career in the Beauty Industry.  Starting out as a cosmetic department manager in the iconic Emporium Capwell let me to work for beautiful cosmetic lines such as Germaine Monteil and La Prairie.

When asked if I would move back to New York for a promising career move, I agreed to join Revlon who owned 7 high end beauty brands at the time.  I was hired to run the largest territory in the US accounting for 22% of the total company’s business.

My decision to leave Revlon was to experience the nature of running sales for an Italian skincare line, Terme di Saturnia.  This offered me the opportunity to gain international business knowledge and experience, and the start of my career working with spas.
