It is a profound moment of reflection and gratitude today, on o ya’s 15th anniversary and International Women's Day. Unfathomable world events and two years of pandemic bring into focus and perspective, that I have truly been able to live my dream for the past 15 years. I have been so lucky to share an incredible ride with the most amazing chef, husband and business partner, Tim. I have been mentored and surrounded by the most unselfish, amazing women and men throughout my career, from advertising to restaurants, and hope that I’ve paid mentorship forward to some others along the way. Thank you today especially, to the biggest female inspiration in my life, my mom Lois, who is the strongest person I know. Thank you for instilling the lofty idea of dream chasing x the very-grounded-foundation of working hard to make those dreams possible. You are my inspiration! My journey has brought me so much joy and I sincerely hope that it has for others as well. There are hopefully many more exciting chapters to write.
