Born in Queens, NY, Viola felt the need to move to a sunnier climate and headed to Florida. Her first stop was West Palm Beach, where she worked for a legal staffing company. Desiring to do something more helpful, Viola took a position at a child services company in Vero Beach, where she worked for two years before coming on board with Indian River Habitat for Humanity. Viola enjoys meeting new people and loves Habitat's cause: helping to improve people's lives.
