There are two things that define everything I do: I'm an older sister (not just in birth order, but in every way you can imagine), and I come from a long line of small business owners who taught me that your work should feel like more than just work.
"Sorella" means sister in Italian, and that's exactly how I approach every client relationship—like we're family figuring this out together.
Small business runs in my blood. My mom's business supported our family and showed me what it looks like to be truly passionate about your career. She learned from her father, who came to the U.S. from Greece and opened a 5-star hotel and restaurant. Now supporting small businesses feels like continuing a family tradition.
Small business owners are some of the most creative, passionate, and dedicated people I know. You have big visions and inspiring ideas, but marketing can feel overwhelming when you're trying to run everything else too.
Your story matters. Your community is waiting to connect with you. And honestly? There's nothing I love more than helping passionate business owners like you bring it all to life.
