Greatest Inspiration: My grandmother, who always welcomed everyone to her dining table. The daughter of Italian immigrants, she lost her mother during the Spanish flu epidemic. She had a hearty laugh, a great smile, and she knew how to have a great time. She taught me the importance of generosity.
Best Advice: The best advice I can give is to not be afraid to dream big. There is nothing that cannot be achieved; you just have to believe that it can be done through planning, hard work and intention.
Proudest Moment: When I was asked for directions in Paris
Important Lessons Learned: The most important lesson I have learned in life is to never stop learning.
Hobby/Passion: Reading and travel
Who’d Play Me in a Biopic: Catherine Deneuve or Anita Ekberg
