I specialize in helping organizations with passionate leaders grow their business or nonprofit organization.
Call it circumstance or luck, beginning a career in New York, NY offers an incredible array of possibilities, ongoing connections with diverse professionals and unsurpassed learning opportunities. I gained a strong foundation for much of my work by supporting Morgan Stanley's Private Client Group senior management team and working for advertising and PR agencies in New York City. Since that time, a master's degree from Stanford University's Graduate School of Education combined with experience and professional development courses has fine tuned the knowledge and expertise that I bring to clients.
