Biographical statement
I was raised on the farm on which my mother was born in Indiana. Growing up as the middle child with 4 talented and kind siblings, I have always been playful, good-hearted, and sporadically gullible. I have a long-standing interest in advocating for underrepresented people in my neighborhood and around the world. My husband, Joe Pellegrino is a gifted clinical psychologist and we have two wonderful children, Zander and Hannah.
