About Me:

I began my career as a NYC teacher and then went on to work in magazine publishing. I was privileged to work for Helen Gurley Brown, the famous author & editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan. Helen was a dedicated mentor whose memory continues to have an influence in my life and work. I then went on to hold positions at Elle and New Woman magazines gaining additional skills in magazine publishing. For many years I was a manager at a large New York law firm where, among other responsibilities, I wrote and presented employee training programs.

As I began to attend lectures, some wonderful and others not so wonderful, I thought about what it takes to create a successful program. Frequently presenters were knowledgeable professors who were not always able to engage an audience. Some presenters relied on only a single source resulting in a one dimensional presentation. Technology was either absent entirely or outdated.
