Lucia “Lucy”
Piñeros-Parra DiNapoli
It all started when…
I realized that I could build on my mentoring of young people at my local YMCA. Instead of giving advice, I can work WITH a client - to set YOUR agenda, YOUR priorities, and reach YOUR goals. It has been fascinating and infinitely enjoyable to work with doctors, scientists, and leaders to name a few professions that I have learned from. With purpose and skill, I will join you along your journey!
