PATSSILY LASCANO-DJESEVIC. Founder and CEO.
Patssily Lascano-Djesevic is Founder of Moms & Tots Magazine (momsandtotsmag.com), an online parenting magazine for the stylish mom. Aside from the online magazine, the editors at Moms & Tots produce a FREE e-newsletter, a Mom Style blog and are actively on Twitter and Facebook, inspiring Moms with fun ideas along with delivering daily news highlights.
The catalyst to launching Moms & Tots Magazine was Patssily's very own pint-size perfection, Brandon. At only 2 years of age, he inspired her to pursue her publishing dreams and produce her very own online magazine. What better subject than her favorite topic of all time: moms & tots.
Prior to launching Moms & Tots Magazine (momsandtotsmag.com), Patssily Lascano-Djesevic worked in the publishing industry for more than thirteen years. Her work experience includes editorial work for magazine and book publishers, marketing and production for a start-up book publisher, new media consulting projects for several publications, and most recently, web development, design and new media marketing.
She began her career in the editorial department at Condé Nast Traveler magazine in 1996 as an Editorial Assistant. She has traveled extensively throughout Europe, Latin America and Asia for both pleasure and work-related projects. In 2001 she moved to Paris to write a book and freelance for various magazines. She has since returned to NYC, married a wonderful European man and now has a two-year-old son. She resides in New York. Paris will always have a warm place in her heart but New York keeps her heart exhilarated, interested and intrigued.
Patssily has a BA in Economics from Columbia University.
