Hi, I’m Michella
Your local insider for the Capital Region, Hudson Valley, and beyond! I’ve built my platform around authentic storytelling — showing my audience the real places, faces, and flavors that make up our community.
Whether it’s a cozy cafe, a local distillery, a boutique hotel, or a new restaurant, my goal is to help people discover the hidden gems in their own backyard.
Love Local
Supporting local is what I do! I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the best small businesses in the Capital Region, Hudson Valley, and beyond—each with a unique story to tell. Sharing their stories is my passion and I’m excited to help you discover the local gems that are right in your backyard!
