Hello. I'm glad you've found me on 7 Cups of Tea. My professional background is in psychology and criminal justice. My name is Dario and was born in Italy in February 1978. I left my country in 2006 and went to live in Madrid, Spain. In 2009, I decided to move to South Florida where I've lived for 8 years. In 2018, I had to move to Virginia where I actually live. When I first moved to Florida, I did not come by myself, but with a huge dream, which was to make a change in our society such as helping those who most need help. At that time, I was 32 and time was not my best friend considering my age. However, I decided to start my new educational career and started my B.A in Psychology. Well, I graduated in 2017! I always try to bring something positive and innovative to my community. I am fluent in three languages, Spanish, English, and Italian. I have thought to get involved in this program because I believe being supportive and helping people can make a huge difference. And remember that everyone makes mistakes in life. That doesn't mean they have to pay for them the rest of their life. Sometimes good people make bad choices. It doesn't mean they're all bad. It just means they're human. My goal is to assist, educate, advocate, empower, and inspire individuals to find their best self; therefore, they may achieve a more genuine and healthy quality of life. I can use my passion, integrity, empathy, and commitment to promote lasting changes to achieve better and long term results. 

I'd like to welcome you with one of my favorite quotes. “There are times in our lives when we have to realize our past is precisely what it is, and we cannot change it. But we can change the story we tell ourselves about it, and by doing that, we can change the future.” ~Eleanor Brown~
