WORK • Friday Routine

It’s Friday morning. What’s the scene at your workplace?
My days usually begin with a coffee from Flywheel Coffee Roasters. By 10a, I’m often leading a scheduled site tour, guiding guests through our spaces before we open. I try to step outside for a quick walk around the block to soak in some sunshine mid-day, sometimes grabbing a juice along the way. Afternoons are generally a mix of additional tours, calls, and tackling emails and new requests. Later in the day, I focus on sales reports, upcoming projections, and catching up on online reviews and social media updates.
What’s on the agenda for today?
I’m assisting the team in setting up for two events happening this morning, a retirement lunch and a baptism in the private rooms. I’m also fine-tuning a proposal for Super Bowl 2026.
Any restaurant plans today, tonight, this weekend?
We’re taking my dad on a hike at Tilden Regional Park in Berkeley and then grabbing lunch at Fieldwork Brewing Co. Today, after I get off work, I hope to grab a nice glass of wine and some gabagool at Palm City Wines — I’m obsessing over their chilled Counoise “Vini Jabroni” right now.
How about a little leisure or culture?
I love spending time outdoors — peaceful nature walks, rooftop hangs, or beachside relaxation. I live just a few blocks from Sunset Dunes, and often take my rescue dog, Koko (from Muttville), for walks there.
Any weekend getaways?
Next weekend, I’m heading to Amador County to visit Casino Mine Ranch Winery with my mom and sisters to celebrate her birthday. I’m hoping to get to Guerneville soon for a riverside chill day — checking out The River Electric while I’m at it.
What was your last great vacation?
Last summer, I spent three weeks in Portugal, exploring Porto, Lisbon, and Sintra, then island-hopping to Madeira. We stayed at Quinta de Bella Vista, a nostalgic gem. Pool service included white-linen-wrapped soup, butlers in uniform, and breakfast buffets in a sunroom. The standout meal of the trip was at Gruta Porto — hands down the best meal of my life.
