    Cancer was the absolute last thing on my mind at 26 years old, living and working in NYC. During a routine skin check, I pointed out a few spots that concerned me and was shocked to discover I had melanoma. One ugly realization came after the next when I learned that my regular lightweight clothing wasn’t protecting me as much as I thought- approximately SPF 7, and that I needed to wear something called sun protective clothing. I soon discovered the lack of UPF 50+ options, certainly not conducive to my lifestyle working in fashion at Seventeen, Vanity Fair & other magazines. I saw this opportunity to make something beautiful & meaningful with UV protective clothing & started Cabana Life! If 1 in 5 Americans gets some form of skin cancer, I figured I couldn’t be the only person in search of stylish sun protection.

    After losing my grandmother and mother-in-law to skin cancer, I quickly learned how truly vital protecting your skin ever day is. So many people wrongly view skin cancer as "Cancer Lite" and simply removing a suspicious mole when unfortunately I know firsthand the serious harm it can cause. When I got a casual lunch with Melissa we were just past coworkers, but I was moved by her story and knew I had to get involved! Now business partners & best of friends, Melissa & I are extremely passionate and proud to help keep people sun safe & stylish with Cabana Life.
