Sherri Balefsky

After 18 years growing up in the suburbs of Philly, Sherri Balefsky decided to travel out west for college at the University of Southern California where she majored in communication. In addition to attending dozens of football games, Sherri dabbled in entertainment at MTV, fashion at Yaya Aflalo, and marketing at Equinox Fitness before realizing that writing was her true passion. After spending a year in New York City, she found her way to Florida for more permanent warm weather. When she’s not writing or researching all things luxury for Haute Living, Sherri can usually be found doing crossword puzzles, watching reruns of Friends, or simply out and about exploring Miami, her new home city.
