About me
About me
I'm a native New Yorker and a flight attendant for an international airline. My work takes me all over the world, but I'm always happy to return home to New York City! I was born and raised on Staten Island, went to college in upstate New York, and I now live in Astoria, Queens. I'm an art-lover and nature girl, so you can usually find me at one of New York City's spectacular art galleries, or taking in some fresh air at one of our city parks.
Why New York?
New York City is a world capital, but also my hometown! I've found everything I love right here: an exciting arts scene, world-class theater, iconic museums, beautiful parks, and a huge variety of craft breweries.

Queens Bakehouse
New York Style patisserie
"Queens Bakehouse" in NYC was an instant hit with me. Their inventive twists on classics are what really stole my heart - the croissant loaf, for example.
