Interests
Outside of work, I enjoy reading and writing poetry, calligraphy, writing letters or cards to loved ones, personal styling and exploring how fashion impacts mental health, fitness including Pilates, tennis, and running, traveling the world, and listening to music ranging from my Caribbean roots to classic ’80s disco. These are my forms of therapy!
