Hailing from just north of NYC in Westchester County, I love to bring sunshine, positive energy + smiles to everything I do.

After graduating from Villanova University with a degree in Accounting + Marketing, I dove into the non-profit world -- planning + executing special events for Lenox Hill Neighborhood House, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center + Helen Keller International.  I have 13+ years of experience fundraising + producing events for non-profits, for-profits + agencies. 

At the age of 23, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.  I beat cancer -- 2x! + completely understand what it's like to get out of your comfort zone + tap into new strength.  My fitness teachers changed my life + inspired me to become a teacher. Now in remission for 12 years, I have continued to challenge myself in many ways -- including completing multiple half and full marathons while fundraising $120,000+ for cancer charities.

Most recently, I am a mama to identical twin boys, Vincent and Jacob who were born January 2020.
