Born and bred in Northern New Jersey, Graziella is your modern renaissance woman: triple- threat performing artist, choreographer,  dance & fitness professional, certified personal trainer, certified holistic nutritionist, image/pageant consultant, foodie and lifestyle blogger, web TV show host & producer.

As a performer and choreographer, Graziella has been seen on stage for regional and off- Broadway productions such as FAME! The Musical, on MTV, Billboard LIVE, at Madison Square Garden and in numerous venues with her dance company G-Volution.  Graziella has created and performed in two original off- Broadway shows, "The Mikey & Gigi Show," and "Puttin on the G."

As a dance and fitness professional, Graziella wears many a hat.. A successful competitive dancer on ESPN's National Dance Team Championship since age 15, Graziella went on to obtain her BA in dance with business minor at Marymount Manhattan College.  An early cum laude graduate in 3.5 years, Graziella was eager to get into the industry she was already dipping her feet into, and founded her first dance company at age 22.  Graziella has choreographed countless shows from dance concerts, to off- Broadway and FAME! The Musical, music videos, and competitive routines for local, state and national competitions. As an educator, she has taught at numerous dance institutions, for performing artists, as a college dance lecturer, as well as for the renowned Universal Dance Association.  She was a dancer and choreographer for the New York Red Bulls, and has judged competitions for UDA as well as for the Miss America Organization and other pageant systems.  Complimenting her strong dance background, Graziella obtained a personal training certification in 2008, as well as a holistic nutrition certification in 2014, and a specialization in prenatal fitness in 2019.  She has trained clients of all ages, including pageant winners, specializing in dynamic workouts for women that get more done in less time.  Graziella's supercharged energy and passion landed her a regularly featured fitness segment on Telemundo's "Al Amanecer con Jackie" show from 2012-2013.

As fitness and nutrition go hand-in-hand, Graziella has truly evolved into a health and wellness foodie advocate, particularly now as a wife and mother of a toddler.  

"We all want food that tastes good, that's palatable, but we also want to be healthy.  Food can truly be nourishing enjoyment if we know how."
