ABOUT ME

I hold an MBA and a Master Gardening certificate, which are similar in their desire to create vibrant environments for people. I also have a Masters in Market Research from MSU .
 

My career started in the think tank world where I worked on outcome evaluation, finance, IT, and HR. The best part of the job was the incredibly smart and passionate people I met there. I've also helped nonprofits with strategy, marketing, and fundraising, leading them through changes using Human Centered Design.

​

For the last decade I've been writing a book on wisdom, which has been a rich and life-changing journey.​ Free time finds me building things that make my home more welcoming and productive, such as benches, tables, picture frames, and organizers.

​

My favorite magazine is The New Scientist. My favorite sport is skiing. And last but not least, my favorite fairy tale is Cinderella -  kindness, bravery, generosity, and hard work are my north stars.​​​​​
