The Full Story
How the story began
From beginning my career in corporate healthcare, working in busy newsrooms, and celebrity styling, I’ve been in the game for a long time. Fact: I was the producer and voice of all the video fashion content on MSN, AOL and more back in the 2000s and interviewed a young Kim Kardashian when she was just the sidekick. I’ve dressed my fair share of celebrities, but after my sister lost her battle with depression and died by suicide it became clear that I need to focus on helping myself and others lead a joyful life with confidence and love your body through every season.
I’m passionate about supporting my community and helping our future leaders shine. I've hosted style studio and workshops for Saving Innocence and Manifest Works.
I live between Chicago and Los Angeles with my divorce gift and best pup, Misha!
How it's all going now...
welcome home
I started dancing classical ballet at the age of 2 and toured professionally around the US. A ruptured Achilles tendon ended my dancing day, but the discipline made the woman I am today.
A stylist, host, ceramic artist, yogi-
She's a renaissance woman!
I was a REAL Ballerina
I was tired of watching unqualified stylist living my dream so I got on the show as a model, learned the players and pitched myself. I was booked as a regular for 2 year and guest hosted Access Daily without an agent. Takeaway- make it happen!
I booked access hollywood without an agent
As much as I love big city lights, I'm happiest in the mountains or beach, off the grid in nature or behind my pottery wheel in the clay.
Off the grid, in clay is my happy place
