I was born in Italy and immigrated to Canada with my parents and brother when I was 18 months old. In my mid twenties I moved to NYC, in my thirties I lived mainly in Los Angeles, Calif., mid forties after 6 months in Maui, and late 1997, full circle--back to Canada.

Education, Education, Education

I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Education degrees. Am a certified yoga instructor (have many wondrous tales of that spiritual journey since I was a youth), and am a certified hypnotherapist; which I intensely delved into from 1998 to 2006 (many coincidences manifested).

Delightful and Rewarding Careers

Careerwise, I have had many funtimes, such as being in partnership in a functionial art business; now and then play as a background actor--sometimes stand-in. Like being the stand-in for Geena Davis in 'Beetlejuice.' My degrees led me to be a certified public school teacher and ny speciality is in Special Ed. Currently, I am a substitute high school teacher primarily for alternative programs. And, I also homeschool my brilliant teen-aged son whose birthday is Earth Day.

My brother, Roberto Carbone is an artist. He paints with oils and lives with me. Follow this link to Rogallery, where his paintings are shown.
