My Father's Daughter

Published September 15, 2015, The Review - A short story from my column, Unfiltered Commentary, that explains who and why I am.

One of my favorite moments is when my dad laughs from across the kitchen table, his hazel eyes staring back at me. He looks to hide his laughter before my reaction to his joke, but his left eyebrow arches up his face, forcing his lips to slowly follow.

​

Our stomach muscles cave, and we find ourselves stuck in this cycle of getting short of breath.

~~

It is 12:30 a.m. on a Wednesday summer night. My brother sits on the couch, and I take refuge next to him, his arm huddles around me. He mentions: “Dad went out.”

​

“What—” I respond.

​

“Dad went for a drive.”

​

The back door swings open, three pints of Häagen-Dazs in hand. “Ice cream party!” my father yells.

​

Slamming three spoons on the counter, we dig in.

BIO

 Hi!

 

Self-renowned food critic and hopeful future New York Best Seller, I’m a young storyteller and as described by friends: "talk to strangers for unnecessary amounts of time.”

 

My first job was at MAKERS women, a Verizon Company, writing about and interviewing badass, groundbreaking women fighting for equality and change. Currently, I’m the Director of Digital Content & Strategy at The Door, a creative relations agency I’ve called home for the last 5+ years. I help to drum up big picture social strategies for clients that think outside the box and help to move the needle for known and unknown businesses alike. During my tenure, I launched Häagen-Dazs’ TikTok, ideated a six part docu-series for Denis Leary’s firefighter foundation that told the story of six sons who took the place of their fallen fathers, lead the charge on South Beach & New York City Wine and Food Festivals’ socials - boots on the ground, I text with Aaron Paul about community building for his mezcal, Dos Hombres. I’ve done the work and have mastered how to hone in on a brand's voice and shape content for targeted audiences that want to listen to what we have to say. 

 

Let's connect. 

Feel free to reach out to me for projects or hire!
