My Background: I have a very diverse background, mainly in the creative arts. My college years were spent studying everything from music to theater to film making and photography. I am an accomplished drummer and vocalist and therefore spent a lot of day time hours working in restaurants to pay the bills. Always an entrepreneur, I somehow wound up a chef and a restaurateur, which allowed me to be creative in yet another way. I got a crash course in marketing owning small cafes and a catering business. I learned that if you are passionate about what you do, you can get that across to customers and create a thriving business no matter what the product you are selling, the location or the economic climate.

What I Do:  Being the CEO of GWN Publishing LLC (the sister company of Virtual Creatives), allows me to use all of my skills from the creative to the entrepreneurial. I spend most of my days managing book projects, producing compilation books, and publishing when I am not ghostwriting books. I also love working with our web clients, making sure that their websites fulfill their vision. I do a lot of networking and have learned the value of connections. I lead the team, manage the projects and get on lots of zooms (thank you Covid – ugh). My skills include sales, project management, creative and business writing, and editing.  I am a very experienced content writer and either write or edit most of the content for every website we produce.  I also blog and ghostwrite for many of our clients.

What Makes Me Tick: I love working with people. Whether I am playing drums in a blues band or giving a talk at a business seminar I love the connection to people. I come from a mainly Italian background and hail from New Jersey so I speak my mind and believe in honesty, integrity, and follow-through. My background in theater and acting has prepared me to understand humanity in a very in-depth way. I recently began writing plays and love to tell my own story and the stories of the people that have touched my life through this genre. I enjoy the fact that I am on the front lines with clients and I am the one that gets to work with them to discover things about their business and themselves as we create something that helps them realize their dreams and goals. Our company mantra is… Working for the Greater Good! Whether that means a book, an anthology, a website, or publishing, we seek to educate, elevate, and illuminate the world through our work.
