“My big, strong and tight-knit Sicilian family is the personification of the phrase work hard, play hard and be nice. It is this mantra that has guided every decision in my life. I am honored and humbled that the tenacious spirit and compassion of my Uncle Joe flows through my blood. Honoring my family’s traditions and carrying on our legacy is imperative. I am so grateful to have been given the tools from my education to share this American treasure from the perspective of my inspirations: the strong DiGiorgio women.”
