Born and raised in Naples, Italy, I grew up surrounded by passion, history, vibrant culture, and the strong values of family, respect, and resilience.

Life in the city's historic Spanish Quarter taught me both street smarts and the importance of human connection, shaping the person I would become.

At 22, I left Italy and moved to New York's Hudson Valley with little more than a degree in Hospitality & Tourism, a strong accent, and a determination to build a meaningful life.

​

My career began in hospitality, where I advanced from restaurant service to becoming a Certified Sommelier and eventually an Associate Professor at the Culinary Institute of America.

During my 19 years there, I taught Hospitality Management and Italian Wine Studies, developed curriculum, and authored educational materials.

​

While my professional achievements were rewarding, they led me to a deeper calling: helping people transform their lives.

Becoming a Certified Professional Coach opened the door to personal growth, self-awareness, and a renewed sense of purpose.

My journey continued through energy healing as a Reiki Master and, later, through animal communication, where I discovered the profound wisdom and guidance animals bring into our lives.

​

Today, I combine coaching, energy work, and intuitive animal communication to help people reconnect with themselves, find clarity, and create meaningful change. My life has taught me that transformation is always possible—and that every person and every animal we encounter has something valuable to teach us.
