Rossana D’Antonio is an engineer, speaker, advocate, and author. Having dedicated her career to public service, her journey took her from technical expert in civil infrastructure to become an accomplished executive responsible for developing public policy. Along the way, she emerged as an expert in public infrastructure and disaster mitigation, an advocate for public safety and women’s empowerment, and an authority in public policy and leadership.
Rossana believes in giving back, sharing her journey, and encouraging others that we all have a story that must be told.
