Introduce yourself!

I'm Sharm, the Editor-in-Chief of Average Socialite. We curate things to do, see, and eat around the world with a focus in NYC, LA & DC. Prior to Average Socialite, I practiced law for 20 years.

I was born in Queens, moved to Long Island, then down south to Virginia where I finished college & law school before returning to the city.

I think the most important things I brought with me from my previous profession are negotiating skills and confidence.

The events I enjoy the most are charity events or galas and anything that helps uplift our community. After COVID we really started focusing on using our social media to help small businesses and restaurants that were struggling to survive in the city. I find these to be the most rewarding events and topics we cover.

Retiring from the corporate world and becoming my own boss has really helped me balance my work and home life. I am so fortunate to be in the position I am where I'm able to make my own hours and spend as much time as I need to at home.

Fall fashion is always exciting. I'm looking forward to sweater weather and am curious to see what new trends will emerge as Fall approaches.

Average Socialite is a proud sponsor of the Disco & Drinks Night at the New York City Wine and Food Festival this October.This is our second year partnering with NYCWFF and we are really looking forward to it. 

I love so many of the dresses at Mestiza that it was hard to choose one! I love how luxurious and feminine the material and cuts are. And who doesn't love a dress with pockets?
