About me

Gender Female
Industry Human Resources
Occupation HR/Legal
Location Southport, NC, United States
Introduction I am a transplant originally from Bologna, Italy. I landed in, of all places, Sanford, a little town in the middle of North Carolina, in 1987 (it's a long story... don't ask!). After college and a long battle trying to obtain a green card, I began working in the immigration field and, in a sadomasochistic way, fell in love with it. I lived in NYC from 2002 to 2006. I returned to NC, settled in the Wilmington area and found a new life with then boyfriend and now husband. We make our home in Southport, NC.
Interests Immigration issues commingled with human resources; politics; college basketball; current events; travel; cuisine
Favorite Movies Star Wars, Indiana Jones series, Lord of the Rings series, and a bunch of others
Favorite Music Beatles, Coldplay, Who, Mozart, Bach, Gershwin and others. A bit of everything!
Favorite Books Shakespeare's tragedies; La Divina Commedia; works by Agatha Christie; and others, in English and Italian. A bit eclectic in taste, I love to read works on life in the middle ages and thrillers that, though they lack literary sophistication, are good and fun escapism.

What would you name your ballet inspired by the sight of children leaping through a garden sprinkler?

Sadly, that was somewhat recently. I couldn't sleep and there was going to be a Family Guy episode coming up on Adult Swim at 3 a.m.
