"I have over 30 years of writing and marketing experience in the private, nonprofit and public sectors. I also have a B.A. in English from Chatham College and earned my MA in communications from Duquesne University followed by a Masters in Public Management from Carnegie Mellon.

Throughout my career I have been a mentor and informal tutor to many young people. Because I had incredible mentors that helped me evolve professionally and personally, I embrace any opportunity to pay it forward.

For the past 15 years my focus has been wealth management marketing but I served as a marketing executive in academia, the energy industry and healthcare. I am often asked to serve as a speaker in academic and public settings on topics of writing, public speaking and financial marketing. And, most importantly, I am a mother who well understands the importance of providing children with an educational experience that leads to embracing knowledge and learning skills that serve them throughout all stages of life." less...
