Pronouns: She/They

Antonietta serves as an admissions counselor for the NTID Office of Admissions. With her positive and infectious personality, Antonietta is someone who energizes her prospective students with enthusiasm to boost morale and stress the importance of a college education. She truly matches the personality of the west coast region and other states that she serves.

Antonietta graduated magna cum laude from the International Culinary Schools at the Arts Institute, and received her bachelor’s in international hospitality and service management from RIT, with a minor in psychology. She was one of the founding members (and served on the executive board) of the RIT chapter of the National Society of Leadership and Success. She truly found her second home at RIT/NTID – a special place that helped her understand her cultural Deaf identity, and she wishes to help others find the same sense of belonging.

As a leader in diversity, inclusion, and accessibility, she presented at TEDx Rochester in 2019, for their “Hear, Here!” theme of that year. She also owns a business that focuses on nutrition, life coaching, cupping, and reiki certification, and performs healing sessions. Antonietta is also a nationally renowned aerial performer and professional dancer. And she does all this while also being a single mom!
