Interests
Foodie
When I’m not taking over the world, I become a foodie. Living in New York City makes it pretty easy (and fun) to find great eats!
Photography
A fourth-generation photographer with over 15+ years of experience. I love landscapes and nature, with a little of everything in between.
Music
Growing up in a Jamaican household, my love for music started at a very early age. Hip-Hop, Dancehall, Reggae, R&B, Soul, Smooth Jazz, and Rocksteady are some of my favorite genres of music.
Plant Mom
A proud descendant from generations of Planters and Florists. Being a Plant Mom to my seven “children” is one of my favorite passions.
