What are your top 3 achievements?
Whenever I think of achievements the first thing that pops into my mind are my three children, Victoria, Valeri and Vincent. They are also the beat of my heart and my everything.
What’s your current profession?
I am a national mind-body expert, master trainer and presenter, author, wellness coach and a spokeswoman for helping others create individual and business well-being. I am also the CEO and founder of SheNetics®, a doctor endorsed revolutionary wellness and exercise lifestyle practice that blends Eastern and Western values and movements for a powerful mind-body experience.

What kind of philanthropic/fundraising work have you done?
I mostly divide my charitable efforts to raise awareness and funds to champion a cure for cystic fibrosis and breast cancer.
What are your favorite platforms or which charitable organizations you admire most?
I have a stepson Danny with whom I am very close and who has cystic fibrosis which significantly effects his lung functioning. He has shown remarkable fortitude, perseverance and conscientiousness in taking care of himself and trying to give back to others by founding his own Fight Forever Foundation to fund a cure for cystic fibrosis.
Do you have any interest in politics?
I have an interest in politics to the extent that I listen to the news and try to follow the issues impacting our economy. I hope we can turn around the economy and provide jobs for those who need to take care of themselves and their families. I believe we all have a concern for our children and grandchildren and want to see a healthier economy that will give rise to greater opportunities for all.
What’s your dream job?
I am living the dream right now…the opportunity to positively influence others and provide a practical guide for them to create their own state of well-being.
Who is your favorite role model?
Without question my mother was my greatest role model. She raised my sister, brother and me without any financial help from my father and did it without complaining or saying, “Why me?”. She set great examples and made so many positive choices that we learned at an early age to be independent and that love takes care of the rest.
Ten years from now where do you see yourself?
I want to see my self enjoying my family. See my family healthy, happy and pursuing their dreams. Being active and giving back, providing inspiration to others so they can live the life they want and writing a few more books with valued content.
