How long have you lived here and what brought you to town? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have lived in Cranford for 24 years. We chose Cranford because of the school system.<\/p>\n

What are your favorite family activities?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Movie nights, baking, having dinner together, and beach vacations.<\/p>\n

\"\"What\u2019s your favorite restaurant and\/or place to shop?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We love to try new restaurants all the time and right now our favorite is Nola\u2019s in Garwood. I like to shop at Augusta Mae in Cranford because Clara and Kim always have the best gift suggestions.<\/p>\n

What was the best advice on motherhood that you ever received? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The best advice I received was to trust my instincts.<\/p>\n

Tell us about your job or passion. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2016, I wanted to learn to sew & took a class at the Cranford Community Center. It soon became my passion and today I am lucky enough to work as a sewing instructor at Urban Sewciety owned by Meg Bulthaupt and Megan Whitney. I also manage the kid\u2019s program. We have almost 300 kids attend classes every week! Right now we are getting ready for our summer camp. People often think sewing is a dying art because it was removed from so many school curriculums, but I invite you to Urban Sewciety to see our students in action! I absolutely love inspiring young sewists & watching their confidence grow as they move through our curriculum.<\/p>\n

What inspired you to follow this career?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

My mom & grandmother both sewed & my whole family is very crafty. As my kids got older, I could spend more time learning & improving. There is always something new to learn in sewing and I absolutely love sharing what I\u2019ve learned with others. I am very lucky to work with so many creative people who inspire me every day!<\/p>\n

Anything we missed?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

My youngest two kids are headed off to college this fall. I am very fortunate to have been a part of the Cranford School system for the past 20 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
