I was born in Manahttan (never mind what year!), grew up in Maspeth, Queens, and went to high school on the Queens/Brooklyn border.  I have done the whole tri-state thing- Queens, Long Island, Manhattan, New Jersey, and now here in Connecticut, the most beautiful place I have ever lived.
I have worked in the medical field as various assisting jobs and I currently write a gardening and a cooking column for the Waterbury Republican American Newspaper.  I am very excited to staringt a new job at Woman's Health Associates in Danbury and Southbury.  I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from NYU.  I majored in Film and Television and I was one of two Film & Televison graduates to win The Founder's Day Award.  My Aunt Rose got mad at me because I hung the award in my guest bathroom, an appropriate spot for a degree in film making. I'm trying to make a difference, and leave the world a better place.  I have a passion for my causes, especially all the young, wounded young soldiers returning to our country, and hope that I can spread it onto you through my writing. Thank you for taking the time to read this.  If you have an idea for a fundraiser that would benefit Homes For Our Troops, please get in touch with me through my Newtown Beautiful Baby Facebook page or through my blog articles on Patch.
