My primary interest is and always has been philanthropy. Most of my life has been dedicated to helping others. Raising awareness for causes and their mission is a priority. I often chair events or am involved with charities in some capacity. One of my main strengths is my ability I to encourage people to participate and donate to causes.

Currently, I am chairing the National Meningitis Associations event in New York City scheduled for April 26th, 2010. I chaired their event last year and am honored that they asked me to return.

There are many charitable organizations and philanthropists in the areas in which I reside; New York City, Southampton, and Greenwich Ct. I often write about and photograph causes as an additional way to raise awareness. My work has been published in magazines and on websites including The Insider, Times Square Gossip, sdmackpictures.com, manhattansociety.com, The Quest for It, Black Tie, Gotham, and Gladys magazines to name a few. I have strong working relationships with people from all walks of life often working closely with philanthropists, celebrities, corporate leaders, pillars of society, members of the media, photographers, public relations people, publishers and editors who share a common goal, to help others.

My charitable affiliations are broad. I recently resigned from the Board of Directors of The Worldwide Childrens Foundation of NY, and currently serve on several nonprofit committees: Best Buddies with Anthony Kennedy Shriver, A.C.E. for the Homeless with Henry Buhl, Help for Orphans International with Sarah Ehrlich, The National Meningitis Association, The American Heart Association of Long Island, amongst others. I have also been involved with the United Nations Millennium Development Goals Awards, The Bob Woodruff Foundation and countless missions and events that can be viewed on this website.

My education as a Registered Nurse and specialty in ICU Trauma and Neurology has helped shape my ability to empathize with those in need. During my tenure as a nurse, I met John Casablancas of Elite Models at a seminar and was invited to NYC to model. Modeling allowed me to travel the world and learn about various cultures. I lived in NYC and Europe for several years, working in numerous television, print and radio campaigns. Often playing the role of a nurse on soap operas I was asked to be the Spokesperson for Keri Lotion internationally for 3 years. I am a current member of SAG, AFTRA and AEA eligible.

My children are my greatest accomplishment. They are also involved with various charities and perform community service on a regular basis. The column I write in Black Tie Magazine is titled, "Affairs from the Heart." I think that title describes what I do the best. Charity work is my passion, helping others has been my love affair and it's all from the heart.

We all get the chance to walk through this life once, it is up to us to know how to use our strengths not only to help ourselves but to help others and try and make the world a better place. The path I have chosen is to attempt to help as many people as I can, in whatever large or small way possible.
