Having been born and raised in the beautiful Garden State of New Jersey, I have been blessed with growing up in an area of the world that is full of diversity in its landscapes, cultures, religions and people.  This has allowed me to explore and appreciate different perspectives and has helped me to create my own personal philosophies.  Throughout my journey, I realized in the most simplest of forms, I love meeting people and hearing their stories.   I use my Faith daily to live a life that reaches to people who need inspiration and sometimes even validation.  Through my Faith, I am able to show up and be present in this world, every day.   People need people who are engaged in the moment and not afraid of connecting on a very personal and human level to a stranger.  I listen with my heart and hear the other person’s story.  It is because of my Faith that I am able to see the similarities more than the differences in everyone I am blessed to meet.
