Your Success Should Be Everyone's Priority

Your success should be everyone’s priority. Your family circle should be supportive. Your colleague's circle, encouraging. Your friend’s circle should play devil’s advocate. And your networking circle should give you every opportunity to advance your business. Within your networking circle might exist two networking groups, your sphere of influence, clients, prospects, and anyone else related to your business. To advance professionally and make the best use of your networking circle, everyone needs a solid support system.  Read more >

Personal Details

I was born in Biella, Italy and adopted by two wonderful parents at the age of three. I am the strong, passionate, champion of women today because of the challenges I faced from my days in the orphanage to learning a new language and adapting to a new way of life. I had several women in my world help me get through some very tough times and I’m grateful. Women need champions because it’s so easy to give up when you’re at a disadvantage.

 

Growing up, I always embraced adversities and fought for the underdog. I knew early on that by making connections and having the right friends – people who were positive – I’d overcome any obstacle. Here I am today, embracing most everything that comes my way.

 

I enjoy cooking, singing – mostly karaoke, walking with my dog Henry, playing poker, great wine and traveling.
