My story

I am passionate about defining what works to make our lives more fulfilling and then working to create that reality. My special gift is to see possibilities, discover breakthroughs and figure out what is needed to create something new. I’ve engaged with dozens of organizations and hundreds of people to move through transitions, make decisions and design next steps.

As an activist I’ve worked with others to create social change on women’s rights, economic equality, employment and jobs policies, and human services initiatives.

I learned about public policy at Duke University where I majored in political science. I gained skills in personal development and communities at the University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration where I received a master’s degree.

As a leader of the working women’s movement in the 1970s and 1980s, we opened opportunities and removed barriers for a generation of women. In 1973 I founded and served for a decade as executive director of Women Employed, an organization of working women. After that I developed a consulting practice in organizational development and public policy and became a life coach.

In 1998, I established a retreat and workshop program on Amelia Island in Florida that I planned to continue for the rest of my life. Five years later a downturn in the economy ended that plan. Still passionate about living a creative life and helping others to do the same, I moved to Philadelphia and then to New York City where I live now.
