what are you up to these days?
living in brooklyn and momming my two favorite people. I head strategic development for a large-scale venture philanthropy organization.

can you share a favorite scarpa memory?
two stories always stick out:

I celebrated my 21st birthday while working at scarpa. amy gifted me two beautiful wine glasses (one red, one white) and a book on wine regions and varietals. fast forward many years and I still love wine tasting and travel.

very early in the pandemic, we traveled to my hometown for a week — to wait for things in ny to improve. five months later, we were still there. I pretty much bought my entire remote wardrobe through scarpa online. it was such a crazy unplanned transition, but scarpa made it much better.

what’s on your holiday wishlist?
a wooden salad bowl, a new spinelli killcolin ring and a joyful holiday with my family.

where will you spend the holidays this year?
new york on christmas day, then road tripping to virginia to be with family.

scarpa life lessons?
to go the extra mile for clients and create a welcoming environment.

what’s the secret to giving a good gift?
first of all, if I could be a super hero, I would be santa — I love gift giving! my gifts tend to fall into two categories: items that I really love and items I’ve secretly heard a friend family member mention in passing and make a note to buy for a special occasion or holiday.
