She has traveled extensively throughout Europe, Latin America and Asia for both pleasure and work-related projects. In 2001 she moved to Paris to write a book and freelance for various magazines. She has since returned to NYC, married a wonderful European man and now has a two-year-old son. She resides in New York. Paris will always have a warm place in her heart but New York keeps her heart exhilarated, interested and intrigued.
