I am mother of 3 amazing boys and currently live in NH. Being originally from NY,I will forever feel as a Nuyorican. I am now in my third reinvention of life. My first career was as a pharmaceutical representative in NY. I loved my work but after my first child, I loved the idea of staying at home with him more. Seven years of being a SAHM was my next stop until we relocated to NH. Here, I started as a volunteer in our town’s library. I soon after became what I call “the accidental librarian.” It was an amazing experience working with families in my time as a children’s librarian. Now, my most exciting reinvention has come full circle and am working with families as a parenting coach. I get to do all the things I love, spend time with my family, meet amazing people, and help create happy and healthier relationships in families. I am Certified as a Parent Coach from the Jai Institute for Parenting, hold a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from SUNY Albany and a Master of Arts Degree in Organizational Psychology from Columbia University.
