January 1, 2017 Tony Inspirational Interviews 0

This is me with my middle sister and all of her girls at lunch one day. I became an auntie at 16 and it's a job that I take VERY seriously. My 3 nieces and 2 nephews mean the world to me and I'd do anything to see smiles on their faces!

What has been the most difficult thing you’ve had to go through in your life.

After a lot of thought, I have to admit I haven’t had much difficulty in my life. To give you an answer, though, I do have a defining point in my life and that was 9/11. ,

What did you learn from it that you could pass on to someone else?

I was about to be a sophomore in college and wanted help but didn’t know how. I was a “starving student” on the other side of the country and didn’t know how I could help. Fast forward 8 years and I started a non-profit dedicated to providing volunteer and philanthropy opportunities. The org is now defunct due to my ever increasing workload but I’m extremely proud of what we did and the experience really taught me that everyone can do something you just have to have a strong enough desire.

This picture makes me feel BEAUTIFUL!

At 29, I was the heaviest and most unhealthy I’d ever been in my life. As a former Division 1 athlete that really took a toll on me. For my New Years resolution I vowed to lose weight by my 30th bday in June. I started training for my 1st half marathon and lost almost 20 lbs by the end of May! This is my 30th birthday picture taken in St. Martin.
