My passion is helping women create fulfilling work through entrepreneurship. I'm like a child in a candy shop when I have the opportunity to advise an emerging founder. I enjoy coming alongside her to identify the tools, strategies, and messaging that will transform her brilliance into a viable business. I'm particularly fond of serving what I call "third chapter" founders, who have launched new businesses at age 50 or older. These women represent a new wave of role models, because they have the inspiration, resources, grit, and perspective to succeed and are creating new economic opportunities. We are proving that is possible to reinvent oneself and contribute to a creating a better world at any age.

My parallel passions are my family - three teenage and twenty-something daughters, husband, and Samoyed---as well as the arts & humanities, travel, and nature.
