At Home
Pets: We have a full house with two cats, Chip and Shade, and a grumpy 13-year- old pup named Sunny.
Favorite thing in my closet: My cream tie-dyed Riverside Tool & Dye sweatshirt, which I scooped up in an impromptu treat-myself moment from Vagabond in Old City.
Go-to beauty gadget: The ZIIP, this crazy, cute tool that helps tone and lift the skin on your face. It feels weird and good at the same time, and I love it.

Makeup essential: Ilia Beauty Super Serum. It provides the perfect barely-there coverage and has SPF.
Always wearing: My husband and I got married in August, so my wedding band, designed by Ritual’s Angela Monaco, is always on my hand.

Currently reading: The Vanishing Half, a super-absorbing story about family, race and identity. And my aunt gave me a New Yorker subscription for my birthday; cracking one open is my favorite way to wind down.

On the Job
What I love about what I do: Being able to help people feel good through food and helping them to develop a happier relationship with food.
Currently working on: Recipe development for our delivery meal service and our storefront. It’s my favorite part of what we do because we get to be creative — and the taste-testing is fun, too.

Next business trip: New York for a market-scouting trip. Going to health-food stores is my favorite thing, so I feel very lucky that perusing the aisles now counts as research for work.
On my playlist: I love playing Stevie Wonder at the shop — instant pick-me-up.
On the Go
Travel essential: My Breville milk frother.
Favorite indulgence: Sitting at the bar at Fiorella with a plate of cacio e pepe is my idea of heaven on earth.
On my shopping list: I’m never not needing oat milk for my mushroom matcha latte that I make every morning.

Favorite local boutique: Vestige! It’s my favorite place to pop into for gifts. The curation is amazing.

Beauty spot: I’ve been getting facials from Joanna Kula for years, and her newly opened Rittenhouse studio, Skin Devotee, is a dream.
Next vacation: Miami. My best friend lives there, and I’m forever grateful for the escape.
