Live to Shine

with Rosemarie Rossetti Ph.D.

Disability inclusion expert, consultant and motivational speaker, Rosemarie Rossetti’s life changed in an instant when a 7,000-pound tree fell on her while biking — she was left paralyzed from the waist down. Through her resiliency, she built a legacy and inspired people around the world. While she could call anywhere in the world home, she chooses Columbus for its accessibility and progressive culture. Rosemarie shines as she navigates Columbus with visits to the Franklin Park Conservatory & Botanical Gardens and kayak trips down the Scioto Mile with her husband, Mark. See Columbus through our Live to Shine ambassador’s eyes below!
