Influenced and inspired by her entrepreneurial charismatic mother from Milano, Italy and her Brooklyn, NY transplant father; she cultivated an appreciation of ingenuity, diversity and hard work. In prior careers, she spent 12 years working for global airlines as a District Manager for both US Airways and British Airways, and subsequently as a National Office Senior Manager for National Corporate Sponsorships at the Make-A-Wish Foundation, focused in non-profit marketing partnerships, sponsorship negotiations and contracts.
Something she is most proud of (other than her family and personal accomplishments) is that she speaks, Italian, Spanish and English fluently.
