A: Three adjectives that describe me best are definitely spontaneous, down-to-earth and caring!

• I love adventure, traveling and switching up my daily routine to keep my life fun, fresh and full of unique experiences. I enjoy sports, especially water skiing and playing rugby; two things I tried on a whim and fell in love with.
• I am a down-to-earth girl because I am understanding, go with the flow, and respect everyone.
• I am a very caring person. I will go out of my way to help my friends and family as well as do my best to make sure everyone is happy! I really enjoy philanthropy and try to give back to my community as much as possible. I am currently helping L'uva Bella Winery and my sister, Michelle Sergi, organize an annual fundraiser for St. Elizabeth Hospital in Youngstown, OH to raise money to establish a palliative care unit.
