MEET LALA
I’m a lot of things, but at my core, I’m a people-pleaser with a backstage pass. I thrive behind the scenes, pulling the strings, making the magic happen while others shine in the spotlight. Me? I run from the spotlight. If it had a sound, it would be me squealing and tripping over a rolling office chair.
I geek out over organization and tech, which means I’m always learning something new—like, recently going back to school for fun (yes, really) to get a degree in Cyber Security. Because apparently, I collect hobbies like some people collect houseplants.
If you’re an EA (Executive Assistant), know and love one, or just enjoy honest, slightly chaotic, heart-first writing—welcome. You’ve found your people.
On the personal side, I’ve got 21-year-old twins (boy/girl) currently testing out their wings, while my cowboy of 30+ years and I are settling into our “almost empty nest” era. It’s weird. It’s quiet. We’re into it.
I write from the heart, which means sometimes it comes out beautifully… and sometimes it’s more like a verbal elbow to the ribs. But hey, I’m a work in progress—and honestly? I love that for me.

The EA
This is where I share the things that actually get me through the workday: the totes that haul it all, the apps that keep me one step ahead, the lunch bags that survive back-to-back meetings, and the everyday tools I swear by. Think of it as my running list of EA essentials, tested in the real world of calendars, chaos, and C-suite support. If you’ve ever wondered what’s actually in an executive assistant’s bag (or browser tabs), you’re in the right place.
The Photographer | Interior Design love
Photography taught me to be patient with the process — to trust that something true will surface if you let it develop in its own time. I’ve carried that same instinct into how I build the rooms I live in, arranging light and space until they feel less like decoration and more like home.
And…
The Arhaus Furniture Lover
I’ve always been drawn to furniture that feels like it has a story already built in — pieces with weight, texture, and a little imperfection, the kind you find at places like Arhaus where craftsmanship still shows in the details. Or as simple as Facebook marketplace. It’s the same eye I developed in the darkroom: I’m not just looking for a piece that fits the room, I’m looking for the one that changes the light in it.
