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.
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.
