Meet Meredith!
Meredith is a Westport native, mom of two daughters and a highly respected realtor in town (@weknowwestportrealestate), but most importantly she is one of those people whose name comes up and everyone in earshot can be heard saying “Meredith is amazing!” Knowing she would always return to Westport, Meredith’s mom inspired her to try real estate for the long-term work life balance It would allow for, and she is forever grateful. While a powerhouse in the industry, her latest passion is educating women – and men – on the importance of genetic testing, particularly for the BRCA gene mutation, after her own experience with this knowledge truly changed – and possibly – has saved her life. Meredith loves to sleep, dreams nightly about her morning cappucino and loves nothing more than laughing about anything (particularly reality TV!) with her sister! Meredith is truly one of the most courageous people around – and a true inspiration.

Orthodontics 101 from Westport Native and Orthodontist, Emily Driesman!
With some children as young as 7 or 8 having expanders- or even braces now – many parents wonder “when should I visit an orthodontist?” and “how do I know if my child needs anything like that?” While a lot of the orthodontic early intervention can seem pre-mature, there is a lot of good rationale and science behind It. We sat down with Westport native and local owner of Embrace Orthodontics in Westport, Emily Driesman, to get the scoop!
Meet another Emily!
A Westport native, and mom to two kids under two, Emily Dreisman returned to her hometown when given a tremendous opportunity to take over a boutique orthodontic practice now called Embrace Orthodontics. Emily has always been motived by idea of creating confidence in young kids, and feels so fortunate to be able to do this by improving someone’s smile! And as she shares, given straight teeth are as much the rage these days as Jennifer Aniston’s hair in 90s, she is fortunate to work with clients of all ages and still make a difference! Emily can’t be missed with her shiny red locks, big smile, and even bigger mission of helping to make others smile just a little bit brighter!
