Fashion entered my life by accident. The job at the pizza place didn’t land and I ended up working in the dressing room at Loehmann’s. That experience taught me you don’t have to spend a lot to look good, and it kicked-off my career.

After graduating from the University of Maryland and the Fashion Institute of Technology, I began my career as an assistant buyer in NYC. Here, I developed a love for high-end fashion and an eye for authentic designer pieces.

I wanted to shop for new clothing, but first I needed to start by eliminating all of the excess. Of course, I couldn’t bear to toss or donate all of that beautiful, expensive clothing!

This moment led to the creation of DoubleTake. I was hooked on the idea.

I spent a year traveling the country, living out of my car, surveying consignment shops all over the U.S. I spoke with owners, clients and consignors, and asked everyone I could:

“What would it take you to buy designer from a consignment boutique?”

Over the past 29 years, I’ve been given the opportunity to be on national television, radio, and local news stations.

I have been interviewed for numerous publications, sharing my story and my vision to create a more sustainable world through retail consignment.

I have met inspiring people in the business, including Tony Award winning actresses, authors, and female entrepreneurs.

Every day at DoubleTake is a surprise. You never know what items will appear on the racks and make their way back into the lifecycle of fashion.
