I was born and raised in Peekskill where I live with my husband Kevin on Ringgold Street. I'm deeply rooted in Peekskill's Italian-American community, whose strength and energy helped build our city. I know the neighborhoods, the people, and their potential. I'm proud and grateful to you for putting this responsibility in my hands. My first experience at City Hall was speaking about a proposed local law when I was just a child. I never imagined that one day my city would elect me to the Common Council. I will listen to you remembering how I hoped I would be heard those many years ago.

I'm no politician, I'm a music teacher. But I know what local government should be: a conversation rather than a conflict. Our city government can work for all of us, and it will. Let me know if you have a problem, and I will look into it and get back to you. Send me a suggestion, and I'll bring it to Council colleagues and city staff. Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to serve you.
