About

I was born in Providence, RI, but grew up in New Haven, CT, and used New York City as my personal playground. Since being a child I have always loved to read and travel. After residing in the DC Metropolitan Area for 20 years I have finally moved back home to Connecticut. While I have always classified myself as a leader, I also understand that if I’m the smartest individual in the room, then I’m unequivocally in the wrong room. I’m the type of person who genuinely loves to learn. I will go out of my way to help anyone while simultaneously learning as much as I can from that individual. I treat everyone with the utmost respect and sincerely enjoy helping others. Countries I traveled: Aruba, Bahamas, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, and the Netherlands.
