Dear Town&Style Readers,

I want to say a heartfelt hello, but this is really more of a homecoming. I am one of you. A reader and follower of all things Town&Style. I can’t tell you how excited and humbled I am to have the opportunity to step into this role. I am so grateful to Lauren, who will stay on as president, and to the entire team at Town&Style! I am in awe of their flawless taste and the true lifestyle brand they have built.

T&S is St. Louis through and through, and so am I. I’m a hometown girl and have been fortunate enough to live, work and play in St. Louis all of my life. I am the ‘girl next door’ who loves a great party, glass of wine with friends, concert and, of course, cheering on my Cards and Blues! I hope you’ll read the welcome article in this week’s issue to get a better understanding of my background and my vision.

If the first 10 years were building on our great following … YOU! … the next 10 will be taking the reader on a journey with us that is even bigger. My vision is to grow our digital properties, increase our corporate partnerships and events, and certainly bring my marketing expertise into the fold. Everyone has a story to tell, and we are listening!

Town&Style is ready for a new decade. Are you?
