Born and raised in Rochester, NY, I've lived in the New York City area for the last 7 years. I am a fur-mom of three: two dogs and one cat and it is their world, I just pay rent to live in it. In my professional life, I sell enterprise technology and in my personal life, I'm an advocate and survivor who deeply believes in helping wherever I can. I love the outdoors (especially mountains), a perfectly made cup of coffee, and reading a new genre of book every month. Gabby's story has sparked a movement to help protect those that need protecting and it's an honor to be a part of it. “To do more for the world than the world does for you – that is success.” – Henry Ford
