Early exposure to a spectrum of cultures resulted in a hyper-curiosity of people and their stories. I studied Humanities and Classics in San Francisco and Rome, transitioning from student to young professional in Italy.
​
​I am Italian-American and hold dual USA/Italian citizenship. I take art, history, and food somewhat seriously—as every Italian should.
​
I serve as a foster mom to senior dogs with Muttville Senior Dog Rescue in San Francisco. In two years, I've played temporary dog mom to 39 seniors (and counting)! Take a peek at some of my pups.

​

I explore relentlessly. I ask questions. I talk to my neighbors. (In grammar school, this was a problem, in adult life, a community!)

 

I confront the world with humor and empathy. I value inclusivity, curiosity, and transparency. If you're looking for me, you'll find me in the streets of San Francisco walking a dog, roller skating in Golden Gate Park, or zipping around the city on my Vespa, Francis.
