The Whalehouse
Owner – Present
I own The Whalehouse, a historic property in New Bedford, MA. The estate is used as a short term vacation rental, wedding prep venue, photo and film shoot location and creative workshop space. I collaborate with other small businesses for social media campaigns and in-person events. The Whalehouse has been featured in The New York Times and been seen on Hulu, 20/20, ABC News, DiscoveryID, and A&E. It was named "Top 10 Best Overnight Getaways on the Southcoast and Rhode Island" by Southcoast Almanac.
