I started out as an Air Force brat raised by immigrant parents on a diet of constant change and new beginnings. Poor and smart, I attended Yale University on a full scholarship. I graduated from Yale with honors in 1980 with a B.S. in Management and Policy. Next, I enrolled in New York University's graduate program in business, where I received my M.B.A. in Finance in 1982.

I wrote my first book, Keep Your WITS About You, while working full-time. I wrote late at night and in the wee hours of the morning while my children slept. My constant companions were an eraser and my tea kettle. Read an excerpt from my book here.

I landed my first paid job at age 10 when I distributed job flyers all over Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, drumming up household chores for 50 cents an hour. I worked my way up the corporate ladder to managerial positions in New Product Development and Budget/Planning, which served as a springboard for my academic career. I was a college professor of Finance and Strategic Management for 12 years until I was recruited back to the corporate world. I then managed an analytical staff spread out across three states, and coordinated the financial processes and reporting functions for a $55 million budget.

I received my Executive Coach credential from Corporate Coach U (a 130 course hours program), and I'm a member of the International Coach Federation. I’m also a Contributing Editor for Personal Excellence magazine and a member of the adjunct faculty at Southern Connecticut State University. I'm certified to administer the MSCEIT Emotional Intelligence assessment and the PCSI communication styles inventory. My areas of expertise include workplace culture, leadership, innovation, and creating a safe environment that helps people choose change.

Take a decade of corporate experience, add 12 years as a college professor, combine with a lifelong passion for meaningful change, and you get an Executive Coach, author, and speaker in a category by herself. I live in Connecticut with my three beautiful children.
