Ms. Laura
Personal
I was born in Rome, New York into an Italian immigrant family. I spent my adolescent years in the picturesque countryside outside of Rome, Italy. Teaching has been a family passion that my late husband, Tom, and I embraced upon the arrival of our two wonderful sons, Michael and Patrick. Proud parents of two Eagle Scouts, we believed from the get-go in providing our sons with the skills and opportunities to discover, explore, and learn with joy, love, and passion.
