My name is Nicole Gagliardi.  I'm from Baldwin, located on Long Island, New York.  In May, I graduated from Nazareth College of Rochester, where I majored in Religion and had minors in Music and Psychology.  I enjoy reading, singing, painting, and doing anything outside.  I'm very passionate about Interfaith dialogue, social justice, and laughing.  I came to FVM because I wanted to do a year of service where community played an intricate role.  I hope to learn about myself and my personal spirituality this year, while helping others and building relationships.  I am so excited and inspired already by my housemates, I know there is so much I can learn from each of them.
