Carmine (pronounced Car-meen) Coco De Young grew up in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. As a former educator, she enjoys presenting at schools across the United States. Her work and research have led her on many an adventure. Once described as having a “compass in her blood,” Ms. De Young enjoys the open road. However, that same compass always points her back to the place she and her husband call home – Westbrook, Connecticut, where they enjoy the nearby beaches and wooded trails with their great big family of children and grandchildren.
As a former Toastmasters International member, Carmine is trained in and enjoys public speaking. In addition to inspiring young readers in workshop bookings, she enjoys serving as a keynote speaker, seminar presenter, and storyteller covering a wide range of topics and events for all ages.
