Down to earth, grounded, young at heart, friendly, animal lover. Creative and almost always fun (hey we all have our moments). I sometimes have a restless spirit that is best satiated by an open road or a plane ticket. I love to travel, and discover the nuances of a culture, even if it's my own. I prefer live music and culture to TV; a book to a Kindle; phone to text. I maintain a healthy lifestyle with exercise, good food and laughter. I have a job that I love, though perhaps too much. :)

A native New Yorker, I like my coffee light and sweet, allow myself a Nathan's hot dog with a side of cheese fries after a day at the beach. I like my pizza steamy hot from a brick oven and my ice cream homemade. I'm an American with Sicilian/Italian bloodlines, who misses her Italian heritage and its traditions.

I've been told I have a vibrant personality...and I heartedly agree. I am outgoing and can talk to just about anyone about anything. I'm a woman, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a hard worker, a mentor and a friend. I can be sarcastic, and sassy, and a flash of my green eyes will make you swoon. I promise.

I'm admittedly quirky, sometimes late but will always be there when you need me. I'm defined by my life experiences and wouldn't trade one smile, one laugh, one shout, one tear; each of them has made me who I am. I like myself and I love my life but it would be far more enjoyable if I had someone to share it with. Maybe that person will be you.

NOTE: I'm not interested in games, and actually expect to share a few emails and phone conversations before actually meeting in-person. If that's a problem you should probably reach out to someone else.

Gelato and a stroll, coffee at a cafe, drinks at a quiet bar...a location that would provide the opportunity to get to know one another...
