I grew up in a large, loving family of ten—four brothers, three sisters—and was the second to last. Our home was always open to anyone in need. Whether it was a warm meal or a place to rest, we found a way to make room.

As I built my own home and raised my children, I instilled in them the same values: to have a giving heart and see the good in everyone. Every day, they make me proud by living those lessons. For me, life is about embracing the challenge of giving—offering love, support, and kindness to those in need.

My journey has led me through many roles, each shaping my purpose. For over thirteen years, I worked as a Litigation Paralegal for Child Services, advocating for the protection of children in vulnerable situations. I am certified by the State of New Jersey Health Department as a Strengthening Families Facilitator, helping struggling families rebuild their bonds, and as a Children in the Middle Facilitator, guiding families through difficult court-related challenges.

Additionally, I am a Certified Home Health Aide and Certified Medication Aide, working closely with seniors in private care and assisted living communities, including those affected by Alzheimer’s and Dementia. I absolutely love what I do, knowing that every day, I make a difference in someone’s life.

My experiences span religion, education, and business. I have often been the observer—the fly on the wall—taking in my surroundings before immersing myself where I can do the most good. My journey is far from over, and wherever my next venture leads, I will embrace it wholeheartedly, ready to serve, uplift, and make an impact.
