About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, Connect, Love, Laugh, Eat, Talk, Learn, Teach, Discover

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people. I am down for eating great food (either in a killer restaurant or raddest street cart). I get bored easily unless good conversation is going on. I have two dogs. I live with my husband and a roommate. I love to travel. Am obsessed with everything Latin American. I am Italian-American.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything you say has a wake--emotional, mental, environmental, spiritual. Be aware of that and cause the right kinds of ripples.
