I was born and raised in London where the path of the world allured me away from the Christian path my parents set me on. I wanted to become rich and famous, do anything I had been prohibited from doing, and die a happy old lady!


While teaching English in Tuscany, I met my now husband, Massimo, my "Italian Beau," and we both ran hard from God – but although we thought we were "happy," unanswered questions about life made us feel unfulfilled and lost. Then, in 2004, Massimo had a dream that changed the whole course of our lives. He had a prophetic dream of the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami – God left no room to contemplate coincidence – He was clearly in touch. We left our life of sin and came running to the mercy seat!

Today, we are two "sold-out for Christ" followers, deeply grateful for Christ's saving grace, and blessed with two little people, Dolce age 9 and De'angelo age 11. We have dedicated this lifetime to knowing Him more and more, loving the broken, and staying focused on the Kingdom that is to come.
