Gosh, where to start?  Biblically speaking, it would be in the beginning I guess.  I am the second oldest of five in a loud, Italian, Catholic family.  I was raised by two of the most generous people I’ve ever known; they continually showed me that anything you have is meant to be given.  It’s that spirit of radical generosity that formed my view of the world and philosophy of how to live this life.

Fast forward to the college years, a little baby freshman majoring in theology and theatre because… why not?  I had big dreams of becoming an actress ready to defend the faith in interviews and popular media but God had other plans.  Before I knew it (literally. the first week of classes.) I was majoring in Special Education and Early Childhood Education which is where you will find me at present.  For the last year and a half I have been teaching at a public school in Maryland where they’re teaching me how to be a saint. Trial by fire, baby.

Long term mission has been my dream for as long as I can remember.  I just want to immerse myself in His people.  I have been blessed with knowing so many people from all different walks of life by doing ministry over the years but I have to say, my heart belongs to the homeless and incarcerated.

So that’s the abridged version of this particularly loquacious individual.
