The best connections happen when someone just knows two people need to meet. That someone was Gina Trzepacz Timpano, owner of Yorkville Memorial and president of the Mohawk Valley Business Women’s Network, and she was absolutely right.
Gina connected me with Carrie, the owner and publisher of Mohawk Valley Living Magazine, knowing that our shared NYC background would give us plenty to talk about. That is exactly the kind of connector Gina is and exactly what the MVBWN is all about. The Mohawk Valley Business Women’s Network is committed to empowering female entrepreneurs and women in business by supporting them through all phases of their business and personal development. If you are not already part of this community, you should be!
I have been a fan of Mohawk Valley Living since moving back to the area. It’s honestly not something you expect to find here and that’s exactly what makes it so special. Carrie has brought a whole new level of polish and vision to this publication and she only took over last year!
What makes her story even more compelling is that journalism is literally in her blood. Her father worked alongside Walter Cronkite, and that foundation shaped everything about the way she approaches storytelling and publishing. You can feel that legacy in every page of the magazine.
The Mohawk Valley was always part of Carrie’s story. She spent summers here with her dad and family, and when he passed away eight years ago, she chose to plant roots here so her children could stay close to family. I came back for similar reasons. Sometimes home has a way of calling you back.
If you haven’t picked up a copy of Mohawk Valley Living, go find one. And give Carrie a follow!
