IN HER OWN WORDS: 

“A long time ago, I read a quote: ‘Be the person you needed when you were younger.’ I was blessed with some exceptional high school teachers and college professors who helped me not only to become the person I am today, but who also supported and cared for me. I always wanted to pay it forward.”

FUN FACT:

“My favorite saint is St. Francis of Assisi. He was Italian (just like me) and he is the patron saint of animals.I am an animal lover! I have visited Assisi, Italy three times, and I was fascinated by his life. I also love this quote attributed to him: ‘Start by doing what is necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.’”
