About me

My ministry is rooted in cultivating experiences that nurture and grow connections—both within communities and with the Earth. This calling has been with me since childhood.

​

Growing up in Rhode Island, my Italian grandparents taught me that sacred relationships are woven into everyday life. Whether communing with the sun and soil to grow tomatoes, digging for quahogs to explore marine ecosystems, or invoking our ancestors by turning the fruits of the earth and sea into meals for a village, they showed me how these daily practices embrace the sacred web that sustains us all.

​

My diverse background spans community-building and spiritual exploration through art, theatre, food justice, gardening, restorative justice, and Unitarian Universalist ministry. These paths have always been guided by the knowledge that we are part of something larger—a shared and sacred interconnection.

​

I have had the privilege of serving Unitarian Universalist congregations in the United States and Canada and currently serve the UU Congregation at Shelter Rock. My journey to ministry includes earning an M.Div. from the Divinity School at Harvard and completing a clinical chaplain residency at a hospital in Maine.

​

Since 2013, I’ve shared life’s joys and challenges with my partner Abigail, a social worker, licensed trauma therapist, and incredible mama. Our two young daughters, Nicola and Filomena, are our daily reminders of wonder, awe, and ferocity. Together, we’re excited to continue growing and deepening our roots in community.
