I'm the granddaughter of Italian immigrants, which means I'm passionate.... about almost everything.
I grew up in New Jersey eating sweet corn, going ‘down the shore’ and listening to Bruce Springsteen and Southside Johnny.
I learned to drive a stick shift as a freshman at Boston College.
After graduation, I ran away from home (sort of) and landed in California.
That's where I got married and raised two amazing young men. several guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, chickens and a handful of dogs.
I love sports, especially baseball, which is a lot like life.
And I always root for the underdog.
