Hi and nice to meet you!

I am a consultant, a self published author, and a podcast host currently on a journey of self discovery on what lights us up in our life. I am working every day to be more intentional with how I spend my time and who I spend it with. Whether I work with you in consulting, connect with you over one of my books, or you listen to my podcast, I hope that I provide inspiration towards a life of greater passion and purpose.

My journey of self discovery started with the creation of my books. I live in Los Angeles, California in a quaint Spanish bungalow from the 1930’s with a spectacular (and very much spoiled) view of the Pacific Ocean. That’s it above in my photo, pretty lucky right? I love the charm of this place and having a sprawling view made our quarantine time a little bit easier. From that view, I witnessed something magical during my time at home in the spring of 2020, our Los Angeles smoggy air seemed to have gone away, leaving space for spectacular sunsets to show up. It was one after another, each night, almost greeting me to say, “you got this, you’ll make it through this tough time.” And so the idea of creating her sunset views came to fruition. You can still get a copy of the book, allowing me to share these incredible sunsets from my home to yours. I hope this book continues to inspire us all to remember to find the good even in the toughest situations.

My sunset book also painted the path for my second book, cooking with italian roots, in which I published in 2021. This second book is a cookbook celebrating the holidays of my Italian American family throughout the year, sharing family Italian recipes that accompany those holidays. Although I live in California now, I grew up back east in Connecticut with a big Italian family. Every holiday was a huge family gathering with more food than you could ever finish and more people than you could think you know! My late grandmother, Mimi, along with her mother, my great grandmother Gram, were the glues of our family and whom were the base of most of the recipes. The book is a tribute to my Mimi and I hope you check it out so you can be a part of our family too!

My cookbook lit my soul up in ways I could have never imagined. It has inspired the creation of my podcast called What Lights Us Up which launched in April 2023. I am enjoying hosting the podcast where I interview others about their journey of creating a passion project that has literally lit them up. Together, through these powerful conversations, I hope I can inspire others that anything is possible.

My podcast led me down a path to meeting new people and creating connections over conversation of what lights us up. Through these conversations, I came to the self realization that I no longer wanted to work in corporate and instead am venturing off to work with companies on my own as a consultant. I will apply the 19 years of experience from my corporate career to my consulting career to help companies boost productivity and accelerate cost savings for optimum profitability.

I look forward to constantly creating stories in my life in hopes to inspire and I hope you follow me on this journey and find inspiration to create some of your own. Thanks for visiting!
