My last name begins with an S-sound and rhymes with jealous, trellis, and zealous.

I live in Cleveland proper with my husband and our three kids. Long story short, they make me laugh every day, and I love the crap out of them.

I'd be crazy not to mention the driving force behind everything I do: my sister, Rachel. She died in 2016, and I don't have words for how much I miss her. She was just so good—thoughtful, sincere, and empathetic—and I try to be a little extra of all of these things in honor of her. I like to think she'd have been my business partner; you would have loved her. 

I'm the best version of myself when I'm making people happy. I live vehemently by The Golden Rule and believe that kindness is always the answer. Freakin' always. 

I'm equal parts left- and right-brained, so I'm a creative dreamer, but I'm also organized and get stuff done.

I'm in the cilantro-tastes-like-soap camp, but if you like that herb from hell, we can still be friends.
