I am both a business woman and award winning equestrian. I love to work, create and ride. Always happy and engaged, I ride internationally on top of being tirelessly involved in every facet of my beloved brand Kastel, from product development to the warehouse floor. I am gritty and tenacious and when someone tells me something is not possible, I gallop right through them.

I’m a city girl; plain and simple. Give me San Francisco, New York, or Rome. Born in Paris and raised in a small beach town on the central California coast, I landed in San Francisco where my career in product development began. I’ve created contemporary clothing and accessories for Anthropologie, BHLDN, Free People, Nordstrom, Stitch Fix, Victoria’s Secret and others. I adore beautiful prints and incorporate them each season to elevate a collection.

Inspiration come from customer’s needs and wants as well as creative risk takers on the streets of New York, Marrakesh and Paris. My goal is to create things that people want to wear every day and feel confident enough to take small risks. Life is too short.

If there is live music or a concert; you will find me there. I’m partial to Green Day, Queen, Ennio Morricone and Earth Wind and Fire. My motto: Carpe diem!

I am the walking definition of a person containing multitudes. My best friend (pictured), baseball (go Braves!), live music (Bayside, Fireworks, and Hit The Lights are some of my favorites) and travel bring me the most joy. Give me a trip that combines these things and you'll find me in complete bliss. I also love a night in baking, crocheting, and watching questionable quality TV.

I was raised in Reno and spent 15 years in retail before joining the team at Kastel, where the hats I wear are as plentiful and diverse as my hobbies. A fast paced, ever evolving environment is where I thrive. I'm the most fulfilled professionally when I can see my contributions come to life and propel a team.

I believe transparency is paramount when it comes to a successful professional career, that's why I always communicate with honesty and integrity. I like to be thorough and well prepared for any situation. I believe in doing things right the first time, so I always double check my work. I think it's safe to say I strive for perfection! I was born and raised in New Jersey before moving to Nevada in 2021. Coming from an Italian and Irish-American family I'm used to hearing a lot of opinions--whether warranted or not--but that atmosphere spurred my hunger for knowledge and understanding. I have a passion for political and socio economic science, art, as well as charitable and community organizations. In my free time I enjoy snuggling with my cats, attending concerts, watching anime, cleaning and organizing my closet, relaxing with my partner, and trying new local restaurants.

Born and raised in Reno, graduated from UNR, I couldn’t be happier to be a part of the team here at Kastel. With a family history of skin cancer and a personal history of loving fashion and analytics, Kastel has become my second home. My favorite part about my job is not only the overwhelming support and energy from our customers, but being able to feel like I’m a part of a greater cause. In my free time I love getting outdoors and staying active just as much as I enjoy a movie night with my pup, and I’m a celiac gal so I’ve been loving trying new restaurant options!
