Welcome to Best of CT Moms!

I was born in Canada and proudly come from Portuguese, Azorean roots. I’ve lived on three continents—Asia, Africa, and North America—and each place has shaped how I see motherhood, culture, and community.

Before this chapter, I modeled in Montreal Fashion Week and worked in Asia. I’ve co-founded a social media platform, worked in tech startups, and learned how to build digital spaces that feel real and rooted in connection.

When I became a new mom in a new town, I noticed the local resources didn’t reflect the experiences I was having—so I started sharing my own. What began as simple posts turned into a thriving, award-winning platform: Best of CT Moms, voted Best Influencer in Greenwich, CT.

 After moving to America, I also became more conscious of what was in my everyday products. Ingredients started to matter. I began testing dozens of holistic recipes—some flopped, others turned out brilliantly. Today, I make my own laundry detergent, face serums, dishwasher pods, toner, hand sanitizer, and even fruit and veggie wash. Clean living isn’t just a trend for me—it’s a lifestyle I love sharing. 

I’m honest. I’m authentic. And no—I didn’t buy my followers or likes. 😜

I’m also a new homeschool mom, figuring it out as I go with curiosity, humor, and heart. I’ve been involved in philanthropic work for years, especially causes that support women and children, and that mission continues to guide everything I do.

My goal is to be your go-to resource for Connecticut families looking to connect, find events, and build real community.

Whether you’re a parent, a small business, or just curious—thank you for being here. I hope this space makes you feel welcome and inspired.
