Hotel Brat Revisited is a personal narrative series exploring what it means to grow up living your father’s work, while living IN your father’s work. Through stories of family relocations, grand openings, and late-night lobby adventures, I revisit the beautiful, chaotic rhythm of life behind the scenes.

It’s about belonging and displacement, ambition and tenderness, obsession and family — and how the lessons of hospitality shaped not just my father’s career, but the person I became.

This isn’t a tell-all; but it does explore what it is like to grow up knowing that everything is temporary, and that home is where you make it.  It’s a love letter to every hotel employee that embraced an awkward and lonely kid, accepting her in a way her peers would not.  an industry and a childhood built on constant change, connection, and the unspoken code of care that every good host knows by heart.

I started Hospitality Inherited to explore my father’s career, and to celebrate the art of hospitality. I hadn’t expected to tell my story, but it is hard to explain why my Dad was such an incredible General Manager, if you don’t know about the insecurities, the relationships, and the mistakes.

Thanks for stopping by!
