After 5.5 years, my time at Condé Nast has come to an end. It’s been a wild ride working for both Vogue and GQ, two brands I admire deeply and that have shaped so much of who I am. I’m incredibly grateful to have worked alongside some of the best in this crazy business and to have added my two cents. Not everyone gets this lucky.
Thank you to all the friends I’ve made along the way. I love you the most! Now let’s see what I’m really made of.

REPORT CARD:
I owe you all an update on my MBA journey, so here it is. I spent the last week being a silly goose in Copenhagen at the incredible Copenhagen Business School.
I was lucky to be selected to represent UNC Kenan-Flagler abroad for a course on Play, Creativity, and Entrepreneurship, 3 concepts deeply driving my current reality and where I’m headed.
New ways of thinking unlocked and lifelong friendships revealed. In the home of LEGO, I found a new way to build and find my own way “back to the brick,” and it didn’t hurt that it was in the happiest place in the world. I’m so grateful to continuously experience a global POV.
What kept coming up: LeBron James, Bad Bunny, and jokesss.
And just like that…she’s back in school!
For the past 7 months, I’ve been quietly settling into a new rhythm as an MBA candidate at UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School. It’s something I’ve been working toward for a while, and stepping into this next chapter has been equal parts exciting, humbling, and energizing.
There have been many long nights, a lot of learning (too much of it in Excel), and a steady reminder that growth doesn’t always feel comfortable, but it’s always worth it.
I’m proud of how far I’ve come and grateful for the support that got me here.
Here’s to big brains, new beginnings, and building a future that feels aligned and expansive.
If I owe you a text, a date, a FaceTime I promise I’m working on it!
PS thank you @everette for writing a perfect recommendation letter. Promise to not be a let down!
We live in a world that encourages you to think big—to go wider, to push harder. But what if we started encouraging thinking… small?
In an essay that champions small ideas, media expert @cashplease expands upon the power of embracing simpler thought. “The small stuff is magic,” she writes. “It’s infinitely harder to stay consistent in a quiet life than to be the loudest voice in the room with nothing to say.”

Well this was pretty freaking cool. Last year I invited my mom and grandmother to a trip to London and Paris and well we finally did it! One to remember.
