Altoona, PA | Where Thoughtful Conversations Still Matter





Thank you to the Altoona Mirror for publishing my recent Letter to the Editor, “Policies need thoughtful attention.” I’m sharing it here with deep respect for all perspectives and a belief that we can still meet each other in the middle—when we’re willing to listen.


This wasn’t about taking a side. It was about asking questions. About leaning into community, empathy, and the kind of dialogue that builds understanding—not walls.

Sometimes, just one letter… one open conversation… can make a difference.

Midlife Crisis? More Like a Midlife Calibration

Midlife Crisis? More Like a Midlife Calibration I’m well past my 40th birthday, and with the big 4-5 coming this August ( ACK!! ), I’ve started feeling like I’m due for a midlife crisis—or at least a midlife reflection. I don’t need a red convertible or a spontaneous tattoo (yet), but I do find myself looking back, looking forward, and trying to make sense of this wildly beautiful in-between place. Personal Reflection Yes, I probably could’ve been healthier. But you know what? [Cliche Alert] I did it MY WAY . I’ve cried often, loved hard, and found the space that defines me. And that, in itself, feels like a major win. Things I'd Always Recommend for a Life Well Earned 1. Keep experimenting. Make the big leaps. I was nearly paralyzed before committing to Vanderbilt for B-school . It felt like if I picked a door, the other would close.  And that's not wrong - I'd say it's quite spot on.   The best choice though?  Following my gut.  I got into “better” schools a...

Not Quite a Hallmark Movie: My Altoona Interlude

When I told friends in New York City that I’d be spending a stretch of time back in my hometown of Altoona, Pennsylvania , I got a lot of raised eyebrows—and more than a few Hallmark jokes. “Are you going to fall in love with the hometown guy and ditch the big city for good?” they asked, half-kidding. (Or maybe not.) It’s a fair question, I suppose. A big-city girl returns to her roots, reconnects with small-town charm, rediscovers what really matters… cue the snow gently falling on a lovingly restored town square. But let me set the record straight right now: there was no flannel-wearing lumberjack, no surprise inheritance of a struggling bookstore, and no last-minute decision to stay forever. But what did happen was something unexpected—and honestly, really lovely. At first, I worried I’d be bored. (Sorry, Altoona, but I’ve got to be honest!) The last time I spent a significant chunk of time here, I was 18 and counting the days until I left for college. Back then, the town felt a...

The Branded Perspective | The Business of Beauty: My Journey Into Franchising with Blo

Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time hiring for my franchise, Blo Blow Dry Bar  in NYC's Financial District . And in every interview, I share a little backstory: ✨ How long we’ve been around: coming up on 5 years! 📍 Who I am: a little about where I live & what I do 💻 How I work: mostly virtual, thanks to my other career in marketing 🧠 What I’m looking for: be responsible, act like an adult, and leave the drama at the door Naturally, the next question is: "Why this business?" It’s a great question — and like any good blowout, the answer has layers: personal, practical, and a little idealistic. 1️⃣ A Long-Held Dream 🌸 (Minus the Pollen) Back in my corporate days, we’d do visualization exercises at team retreats. Every single time, I’d picture the same thing: me, closing the door to my own shop at the end of the day. For a while, I thought that shop might be a flower store. I love the joy and beauty flowers bring… but my allergies had other plans. ...
