My mother came to the United States in 1961 as an exchange student from Italy with the  American Field Service.

I began my journey toward Global citizenship when I spent my junior year abroad in Padova, Italy in 1989.

Early in my career I was lucky enough to travel around the world when I worked for AT&T. I spent a whole year living in Mexico City where I worked to support the global sales and international business development teams. It was the experience of a lifetime. Other places I visited for business include: India, China, Argentina, Brazil, the UK  and Venezuela.

Now I travel with my family, trying to share with my children, my passion for learning about other cultures and languages.

Alternative Spring Break - La Bamba - 2016

Alternative Spring Break is offered by Campus Ministry, and it gives students the opportunity to spend a week learning about social justice issues. La Bamba takes students to San Diego and Tijuana to learn about immigration and border issues. We had the opportunity to work with populations on both sides of the border and to learn about what it means to be displaced. 

As with most of my experiences at Dominican, I learned more from the students than they did from me!
