Favorite restaurant: 

My favorites are Vino Bistro and The Conche, both are absolute must-tries if you find yourself in Leesburg, Virginia just outside of Washington, D.C..

Ideal day off from work:

My ideal day off is hanging out with my husband and our two young daughters, definitely involving yummy food and snacks and a stop at a local coffee shop. I also love hosting themed playdates or small gatherings for friends and their kiddos (I wasn’t kidding in my bio when I said I love curating experiences!).”

One thing you do every weekend without fail: 

We do pizza and movie night every Friday in the Stento house!

Always start the work day with:

Coffee, always!

Best book you've ever read / Books you’ll always recommend: 

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. Also, anything by Taylor Jenkins Reid, especially Daisy Jones & The Six!

My undergraduate degree is in Information Systems & Marketing from Le Moyne College, and I earned my MS in Information Management from Syracuse University.

Favorite travel spot to-date: 

Definitely Italy, we honeymooned there and hope to go back with our girls soon. That said, Disney trips are so fun right now. We’re a Disney family, and seeing it through a 2- and 4-year-old’s eyes is pure magic.

Professional advice you were once given that you'd continue to give to others:

Put genuine human connection at the center of everything you do.
