Denise Fucito (nee Ostuni) was born and raised in East Northport, LI, NY. She raised her children in Kings Park, NY and in 2007 moved all year round to her summer home on Candlewood Lake in New Fairfield, CT.
In addition to being a mother, Denise has held a wide array of roles, including a legal secretary, public relations professional, business teacher, self-employed corporate trainer/coach/keynote speaker, career transition counselor, director of a private trade/business school, and human resource executive. She holds a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from New York Institute of Technology and a Master's Degree in Secondary Education from Dowling College.
During the COVID19 quarantine, Denise became motivated to tap into her expansive experiences and began writing of lessons learned in her personal and professional life. She is currently writing a book on downsizing/career transition as well as articles on parenting/management styles.
Deciding to write at this stage in her life aligns with one of her favorite quotes by George Eliot: "It's never too late to be what you might have been."
