WHAT I’M WORKING ON RIGHT NOW

(Inspired by Derek Sivers)

Role: Executive & Professional ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC)

• I’m one of seven co-founders of a coaching collective. As a group, we applied to Columbia University’s 2025 coaching conference and we were accepted! This year’s theme is: High-Impact Coaching: In An Era of Hybrid Intelligence. We will be presenting: “Navigating the AI-Integrated Coaching Landscape: A Hands-On Exploration” in October. Can’t wait!

• I’ve been engaged as a pro bono executive coach for a female nonprofit impact leader through The Women’s Impact Alliance (WIA). My client and I have met several times already and she’s stated that she’s getting a lot of value from our sessions.

• I’m also on The Women’s Impact Alliance (WIA)’s selection committee for new members. Fascinating to be on on the other side of that process and a responsibility I take with great care.

• I continue to interview for roles in the behavioral health coaching and professional coaching spaces.

• I’m taking on private professional coaching clients. Contact me about setting up a discovery session.

Role: Licensed Master Social Worker & Food Allergy Coach

• Since 2006, I’ve worked with private practice food allergy coaching clients and supported them with life-threatening food allergies and anxiety. I continue to see a limited number of private practice coaching clients dealing with issues around managing chronic medical conditions, life transitions, creative blocks, and professional challenges. If this is you, contact me about setting up a discovery session.

Role: Applied Improv Facilitator

• I’m talking with the Literary Arts Bridge at Dartmouth College about facilitating a series of writing and applied improv workshops this academic year.

• I’m currently booking additional corporate applied improvisation workshops for Q4 2025. Contact me if this you.

Role: Writer/Editor

• I’m writing, editing, and revising a contemporary romance novel and I’m having so much fun! My agent at Massie & McQuilkin is aiming to submit within the next few months. Stay tuned!

• I’m a published nonfiction author, and my book is still in print after over a decade!

• I have my MFA in Writing and Literature and frequently teach writing workshops.

• For over 15 years, I’ve been a freelance editor, line editor, copy editor, and proofreader. Most recently, I worked for Medium.com and HelloFresh.

Role: Musical Improviser/Performer

• I auditioned for Valley Improv and have been invited to join! This is my first new team IRL (*I was part of several over Zoom in the past 5 years). My personal challenge in joining is to have playful, silly, fun with new people IRL and to continue to sharpen my non-musical improv skills. We have our fist “new Faces” show, 8pm, Wednesday, September 10! RSVP here or just show up at Sawtooth in Hanover, NH.

• I’ve been performing improv and musical improv on New York City stages since 2012.

• I’m a founding member of the musical improv team, Redshirts, which has been going strong since 2014. Check our Facebook and Insta pages for upcoming shows and dates.

• I’m a founding member of two additional non-musical improv teams that are currently active: The Bagelsteins & Close to Home. It’s a joy to play with them.

Role: Mentor

• I’ve been mentoring psychology majors (all women) heading to graduate programs at William Paterson University since 2014. It’s gratifying to support young women navigate school-life balance as well as prepare them for graduate school and their professional lives.

• Last academic year, I was part of the 2024-2025 NYU Wasserman First-Gen Professional Development & Mentoring Program. It was a rewarding experience mentoring a BSW candidate through their academic year. I hope to be part of the program again next year.

Role: Master Home Chef & Pastry Chef (all dishes are nut-free, fish-free, and most are gluten-free)

• Last summer, I made this focaccia recipe, adding garlic-herb with four cheese and now my in-laws are so obsessed, I’ve been making it bi-weekly for a year.

• It is end of summer pickling time. This summer we made tomatillo salsa, fermented half sours, dilly beans, vinegar pickles, and kimchi. Soon we’ll make green tomato pickles as well. Many of them have been shared with my partner’s co-workers.
