Take a look at what activities keep her busy “AFTER HOURS“…

This week, it’s me on ski slopes in Lebanon. Other weeks, it’s barefoot by the beach in São Paulo. Some winters are spent in snow boots, others in sandals (or both).

In between: Florida, São Paulo, Beirut; and everywhere life and work have taken me.


I’m not one thing.
I’m a combination of all of it, and I’m better because of it.

Different cultures, different rhythms, different ways of seeing the world.

Long night calls across time zones. Early mornings that start before most cities wake up. Moments of exploration, recalibration, and returning to my roots.

I don’t live on a plane.
I experience. I observe. I calibrate.

This way of living isn’t a distraction from my work, it’s the foundation of it. It sharpens my intuition, deepens my perspective, and keeps me grounded in what actually matters: people, culture, context, and meaning.

Every place leaves a trace. And together, they shape how I think, create, and lead.

📍Somewhere between the mountains, the city, and home.
