I am passionate about every career choice I have ever made. If I didn’t care deeply about what I was learning, doing and creating, I couldn’t pursue it. The choices I have made over time reflect my evolving awareness of my strengths, passions and commitments (with a little serendipity and Providence thrown in!). This is what I want for my clients. I believe in professional development and have been rigorously trained and certified by The Coaches Training Institute, an accredited institution associated with the International Coach Federation of which I am a certified member as well. I am currently pursuing advanced certification in Organizational and Relationship Systems coaching from the Center for Right Relationship.

I have 25 years of experience in Education and non-profit leadership. I have been a teacher, family educator, and Principal and have consulted to private schools on governance, teacher development, and school change initiatives. As the National Education Director for a civil rights organization I worked with law enforcement agencies, medical schools and public schools on issues relating to diversity and bias, designing and leading intensive workshops on institutional and attitudinal change. I have a BA from Brandeis and an MA from Stanford University. I also grew up in Japan, and am deeply connected to my ancestral homeland, Israel. Together with my husband and two teenaged boys we make our home today in NJ.
