I was born in London, England in 1964 and lived in the United Arab Emirates and Lebanon, where I was eventually evacuated due to the Civil War in late 1976. I moved back to my other native country of Italy and lived in Rome for 17 years.

Receiving my Bachelor’s in Business from John Cabot International University of Rome in 1984, I went on to work in the banking sector via a position with Citibank, and then in hospitality, where I held a sales position for a new chain of hotels in Rome. In 1993, I left Italy for the United States, looking to begin an all-new chapter in my life, and never looked back. Ever since, I have been successfully selling real estate in the Los Angeles area, making lifelong connections, and changing lives – one client at a time.

As time passed, I felt as though more could be done in my immediate community, so beyond being a “room mom” and a member of the PTA throughout my daughter’s elementary and middle school years, I was also a board member of the HOA where I resided with my daughter and mother. In the summer, I help with cooking for and feeding the Foothill Division’s LAPD, LAFD and neighbors at the National Night Out.

Now-a-days, I host Italian Evenings, “Serata Italiana” at my house every Wednesday night, teaching groups of people Italian language and it’s culture, while enjoying traditional Italian food along with delicious Italian wine. And yes, every Wednesday night.
