Born in Athens, Greece and raised in the United States, she has spent years as a corporate business leader, civic volunteer, performer, wife and mother.

She attended Rider University, earning a Bachelors of Business Administration.  She furthered her education by earning an MBA from Saint Peter's College with a double concentration in Finance and International Business.  

She loves to study people and listen to their life experiences.  "I've become a student of life", she states.  And in doing so, I've learned the value of always being yourself and bringing that best self to the surface.

She has won the titles of Mrs. New Hampshire International 2008 and Mrs. New Hampshire United States 2009.  Helping her to achieve her titles was her dedication to Volunteerism and the Empowerment of Women.  She was named the NH Spokesperson for Volunteermatch.org, serves on the March of Dimes – March for Babies campaign, is an ambassador with the Big Brothers Big Sisters and is a leader of volunteerism in her community. 

She enjoys the positive aspects of pageantry and brings her professional corporate background, pageantry knowledge and over 20 years of performance experience to her directorship.  She is very excited and looks forward to her directorship as it is an opportunity for growth and development for the women of New Hampshire and Massachusetts to be their Best!
