Tell us a bit about yourself. 

I was born in Milan, Italy, the fashion mecca of the world. It wasn’t long before modelling scouts took notice of me, and at the age of 8, I began my modelling career with two national campaigns for Benetton and Lacoste. My successes at home prompted me to make the leap to America at 14. In just a few short years, I made a name for myself by being discovered by the late, legendary Jay Bernstein. My passions include philanthropy, real estate, fashion, and exotic cars.

You have received many awards for your work as an entrepreneur. Tell us about them. 

In 2012, I was presented and honoured, among other honourees, dignitaries and royalty, by the Mayor of Los Angeles, Mr Eric Garcetti, with a Global Excellence Award in Women’s Entrepreneurship. I was recognised as a Prominent Business Woman and World Renowned Entrepreneur of the year for my achievements and contributions both as a matchmaker and philanthropist.
