Few things make me happier than a warm sunny day complete with blue skies and an ice cold drink to enjoy in fresh air. How delicious and relaxing does that sound?

I lived out a dream, working in theme park design in Orlando, Florida. Yes, it was as incredible as you imagine!

I’m a sucker for fireworks. I can sing along to all of Walt Disney World’s WISHES fireworks show and I’m not ashamed to admit it.

Traveling to see the world is very important to me. I try to do one big trip a year and smaller trips year-round.

I’m a foodie – lover of sushi, homemade pasta, and much more. There are very few foods I don’t like. And I LOVE vegetables!

If I had a super power I’d speak every language.

I love making family and friends smile. How could you not love a smile like this?

I did cake decorating for a while and still occasionally create sugar art for family and friends. Remind me to tell you about the time I was almost on a cake decorating reality show…

I’m named after my great grandmother, Martha (M) and great grandfather, Philip (P). I never had the pleasure of meeting them but I know they were incredible people and it makes me even prouder of my name, which I absolutely love.

I’m left-handed. (And yes, I’m convinced I’m more creative for it!)

I’m the middle child between two amazing siblings. My older sister is a fashion designer and younger brother is in FDNY. All three of us are very creative, actually!

I love making jewelry, sewing and painting when I have the time. They’re therapeutic. I used to spend way too much money at bead stores. But a girl’s gotta have nice gems!
