Terry Lamantia Cataldo was born and raised in New York and is the mother of two handsome sons. Terry is currently a Partner at Marcum LLP in Greenwich and serves the financial and high net worth individual community in Fairfield County and New York.
Says Terry, "Growing up, I had an uncle who was mentally challenged, which inspired me to start a volunteer program at Brooklyn Developmental Center (BDC), my uncle's residence at the time. I remember receiving such joy spending time with members of the BDC community.
In my youth, I was an avid ballroom dancer competing and winning local and national competitions for ballroom dancing until I was 18, at which time I began to pursue my college ambitions.
Attending college and law school to ultimately pursue a career in public accounting, I put my dancing days on hold. Having never lost my love and passion for ballroom dancing, I am excited to reengage my dancing skills and be a part of this event. I see it as doing my part in making a difference and bringing awareness to the Abilis community. My goal is to help with giving back to the individuals who Abilis serves. I am honored to be part of this event and am grateful for the love and support of my husband, Nick Cataldo.
