Born and raised in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, New York, I cherished the stoop, the families, the culture, and my Italian heritage. The magic of my neighborhood instilled in me a deep sense of community and tradition. My mother's parents came through Ellis Island. My Mom had severe rheumatoid arthritis, despite her challenges she was an inspiring force, known as an angel in our family. She came from a family of talented entrepreneurs—models, photographers, designers, and empaths. She worked as a paralegal in a law office , before becoming a stay-at-home mom. She was educated and had a strong-willed nature, combined with her love for life, family, and friends, she shaped understanding of resilience and strength.
My father, a Navy veteran, juggled multiple roles including a small trucking company, working as a city conductor, and driving a school bus for the kids in the handicapped community after retirement. His dedication to our family and his unwavering work ethic allowed us to thrive in the magical neighborhood of Dyker Heights. Despite his challenging upbringing , he created a successful and fulfilling life. Born in 1933, he continues to inspire me daily with his commitment to staying active and engaged in life.
Growing up with a sister who often made me feel like an outsider, I found solace and support in close girlfriends who became like sisters to me. Despite struggling with reading and speech issues due to missing much of first and second grade, I embraced these challenges over time. Summers spent at my parents' cottage in the Catskills and the beaches in NY and Florida were filled with amazing memories.
At 16, I met my high school sweetheart and planned a future together until his tragic death in 1994, which deeply affected me. The trauma of 9/11, which I experienced firsthand, further changed my perspective on life, leading to a diagnosis of PTSD and grief. Despite these hardships, I persevered. In 2003, I moved to Las Vegas, met someone, got married, had two daughters, and eventually divorced after 10 years. I owned and operated a successful hair salon called LOVHAIR for 10 years.
In 2008, I began studying emotional intelligence through experiential learning trainings, igniting my passion for supporting humanity. I trained and coached regularly in experiential learning and executive leadership, interning with a Las Vegas Vistage Chair. However, my path shifted in 2019 when I joined the office of the Mayor Pro Tem of Las Vegas wanting to make an impact.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I faced new challenges, including my daughters moving in with their father for stability while I continued to work at the city. This period tested us, but I remained grateful and trusted the solid foundation I had provided them growing up. Realizing the political arena's toxicity, I recommitted to coaching, where my heart truly lies. I recognized the importance of helping people create and rebuild their lives, a passion stemming from my own life's transitions.
Today, I am a force to be reckoned with, a survivor of many disappointments and failures. I have reframed, rebuilt, and served as an example for my daughters of a woman creating her life. I focus on empowering women to stay true to their dreams despite life's challenges. My life has always been about authenticity; as a Brooklyn native, it's second nature to be nothing but yourself; however Las Vegas did challenge me at first. I learned to live my deepest truth, and today, I support you in living yours. Life is a journey, and if you know me, you'll hear me say, "LOVE THE JOURNEY."
I believe in the power of choosing yourself and being present in the here and now. This is the journey to success, and it's a practice. Recreate yourself—it's not easy, but when you see it forming, it becomes beautiful and fun. Embrace the journey; it's within you.
