While I’m quite accustomed to seeing my byline in print magazines, it’s quite an honor when the tables are turned and I’m the subject of the piece. With this said, I am SO flattered to be featured in the September 2024 issue of Modern Luxury Miami magazine’s “Women of Style” feature alongside Ximena Caminos, Gigi Vogel, Chaya Krinsky and Verky Baldonado. Here’s what Editor Paige Mastrandrea had to say about moi:
