Happy New Year!

Yesterday, I took a moment to sit, pondering all the incredible things which have happened to me over the past 12 months. Upon reflection, I was even more amazed at how God has blessed my life.

I never would have thought I would have had the opportunity to live not just my dream of being a food-and-travel writer (but so many other's dreams), as well as being Chief Partnership Officer of a health care group and opening my own strategic communications firm.

Now, I am on the precipice of history as I work for the new President-Elect, and I am incredibly humbled by this fantastic opportunity. God moves in mysterious ways yet in all things I glory Him for His generosity in giving to me.

I can only hope in 2017 I will have a chance to live a life in equally astonishing measures. May God continue to do a work in me so that I can be the best person I can be, and may the doors of opportunity continue to open for us all!

Happy 2017! Enjoy some of my favorite photos from 2016 below!
