I'm a Tosa gal, passionate entrepreneur and smitten' mama to Will (4) and Tommy (2) and Sam (6 months). I've got a big heart and a deep passion for my Milwaukee community and moms supporting moms.

Up until now, I've spent my career as a marketing and communications expert in education and start-up industries. It's been fun and challenging, don't get me wrong. (Seriously - ask me about the time I sent Nickelodeon Slime into outer-space with NASA astronauts!)

That said, following the pandemic and birth of my second babe, I knew I needed to try something different. IDK about you, but something about surviving multiple quarentines and trying to work from home with two littles really made me reevaluate my goals and priorities. Life is wayyyy to short to let dreams stay dreams afterall, right?

It is with great joy and gratitude that I took a leap of faith to follow my heart and open the Little Village Play Cafe. This 100% woman-owned business is a culmination of my experience working in coffee shops through college, leading education-based programs, driving marketing strategies for start-up brands, bringing together my Pabst Park neighborhood, and of course, my biggest accomplishment yet - being a mom. 💕
