An avid tennis player on the successful school team, she graduated from Westwood High School thereafter attempting to further her education in New York as a physical therapy student, but opted to return to be with her family after the unexpected death of her father.
In 1976, she graduated from the University School of Physical Therapy, Jamaica, gaining the coveted gold medal for being the most outstanding student. Eager to improve the health of the disabled she worked at hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and private clinics, including her own, in Jamaica and the U.S. Apollone was awarded traveling therapist of the year by the traveler magazine, and appointed to the editorial board of directors at the end of her first year returning to live in the U.S. because of her outstanding performance. She holds a bachelor degree in Psychology from Georgia State University, a master of public health degree from University of the West Indies, and is studying for her doctoral degree in public policy and administration at Walden University.
Through her experiences, she is eager to share the knowledge gained, hoping persons will use her advice to also overcome ill health. Married 28 years to dental surgeon, Dr. Juan Reid , she is proud of her successful daughters from this union, Patrice and Juanita, as well as her son, Ryan from a previous marriage, along with his wife Devie and their two beautiful daughters, Emma and Eden.view less
