Welcome to Apartment XI where working up the courage to try something new makes you a badass. If you see something different or challenging on Apartment XI, and you give it a shot, you’re my hero! Whether its a success or a failure, I guarantee you’ll learn something and trust me, there are many failures for every successful post that goes up on this blog.

A little about me: After I graduated from the University of New Hampshire with my BA in Communications & Business Administration, and after I returned from my travel adventures in India, I partnered up with my mother to open an antiques and home decor business Ingather in beautiful Portsmouth, New Hampshire. After this, I went on to work, as a digital marketing strategist at marketing firm that was working with the blockchain technology to bring cryptocurrency to the masses. Now, I am the e-commerce marketing manager at The Mountain t-shirt company. I recently married the love of my life Brandon Reis (he’s on my inspiration page), we’re excited for the life we have ahead of us.

I’m inspired by travel, new cultures, new people, and new experiences. I basically enjoy anything that is the slightest bit creative. I get bored when I’m not challenged and anxious when I am, but I also find that this is when I tend to learn the most – relate? My friends and family are my priority. I have two blogs, this one and “Hemming n’ Hawing”. I love the character Edna from the Incredibles… “I never look back darling, it distracts from the now” she’s one of my most favorite heroes. Have you seen Zootopia? Also a killer kids movie that will inspire you to follow your dreams and achieve your goals, love it

At Apartment XI you’ll find I share mostly my latest baking experiments (the successful ones at least) as well as worthy adventures which include, but are not limited to, beautiful antiques, art, interiors, travel, & adorable animals. I occasionally blog about my friends & family. I hope you enjoy.
