Good evening, Jami, I was reading my PhillyFIT Magazine as usual that I get at my local Wawa and finally decided I’d like to submit myself to be in an upcoming feature of Philly’sFITTEST. Nicole DelGuerico, oldest of seven and an aunt to four, is a Director of Fiscal Affairs at a Bucks County school district, but outside of work and her graduate studies, she is always finding ways to stay PhillyFIT from getting up daily at 3:45am to work out before work, checking in with her “Accountability Group” on Facebook, to playing softball, golfing, or hanging out with her family. She is surely not sitting still. “I find the best thing I can do is invest in my health and I make that the first thing I do daily. Being healthy allows me to be the best version of myself at work, with family and with friends.” Have a great day, Nicole L. DelGuerico
