I was born and raised in northern Italy and I landed on the American continent following a life-long dream. I raised my family in Oregon mixing horses and cattle with internet, databases, book publishing and academia. I met RDI as a graduate of the Ford Leadership Program in Baker County. The Ford Family Foundation programs and the folks at RDI truly touched my heart. I am now deeply honored to work with this great non-profit-community-building group in several counties in Northeast Oregon. Contact me for assistance with Rural Tourism projects, meetings, community collaboration ideas, communication or other community building needs.
