The iron roast split chicken at Left Bank, my
favorite neighborhood restaurant. Crisp, delicious
and satisfying every time.
What’s something surprising people might not know
about you?
I used to sing. For an event honoring a beloved
minister in the New York jazz community, I had
the best backup band imaginable – guys who had
played with Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Ella
Fitzgerald, etc. It was an out-of-body experience.
What is your passion outside of work?
I love cooking and pampering my dog, Layla. Sometimes
simultaneously. Both passions have taught or reinforced
the importance of patience (a never-ending lesson)
mastering the fundamentals, and the rewards of focus.
What’s the coolest (or weirdest) place a project
has taken you?
The weirdest place was a jury room. While waiting
to be selected, I struck up a conversation with
someone who worked at another PR agency and wound
up recruiting her.
It's important to me to stay curious, open, authentic and optimistic. A writer once asked me about my mantra and what I told her, though not as thoughtful, is just as true: ‘Dare to dream, dress to kill.'
