A Closer look

I was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on August 26th, 1971. My Grandparents came over from Italy and started their own business. It was through them I learned about helping others and the strength of determination. I grew up serving others, as my father was a minister. I am extremely grateful for my faith and the strength it gives me every day. As a child I started singing in church with my dad and as I grew up in school I got involved in drama. I loved doing plays, but when I graduated high school I didn’t take the creative path. I went to college to work on my passion for helping others through nursing. My professional journey took a back seat to my greatest achievement, my 3 children. Over the course of raising them I continued to get involved in using my love for the arts. My children are now adults and on their own journey and I continue to be proud of them. Through the years I have also used my strength in education by teaching children and young adults. My love for the arts and inspiring others is my true passion in life. I always will fight through the hard times, love hard, and encourage others. My faith sustains me and keeps me reaching forward.
