I’m an unapologetically ambitious young leader, I love my job and absolutely love helping people and building teams. I love solving problems and effecting the vision of my leaders. I like to say my CEO is the visionary and I am the executor or integrator of his and the Management’s Team vision.

I am also an Adjunct Professor, and teach a myriad of courses at the University Level. I have been teaching university students since I was 24 year old, starting at the law school level. Imagine the look on my students’ face when I walked in to teach them Private International Law and most were older than me! 

If you know me, you know I love tests, assessments, and horoscopes signs, and all that good stuff, because I really think it sheds a light into how best to maximize communication and connection with a person, so let me tell you where I fall:

HOROSCOPE SIGN: I’m a Cancer, which makes me a super-sensitive, hard-loving, generous, homebody! I am slow to connect, but when I connect, or let’s just say, when I love, I love super hard.

INTROVERT/EXTROVERT TEST: What surprises many people is that I am introverted, and when I took the Quiet Revolution personality test, it rang loud and clear. I find myself totally drained and sapped of energy after a night out socializing with friends (although I do it well :)) I would much and always prefer being at home crawled in bed wearing some VS silk pajamas with candles lit and a glass of wine nearby. I enjoy public speaking and teaching and being in front of the podium speaking to a crowd of 5,000 people, it’s when the presentation is over and people come up to the podium to speak to me that does it for me! I much prefer building connections on a one to one basis, and I am an effective networker because I focus on maximizing those one-to-one connections rather than working the room.

MYERS-BRIGGS TYPE INDICATOR: I am one of the less than 3% percent of people that is an INFJ (the rarest Myers-Briggs Type) – Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging. 

My LOVE LANGUAGE: is Physical Touch and COVID just wrecked that! My daughter tells me constantly, “Mom I know your love language is physical touch, but no kissing and cuddling today please.” I am a hugger, a touchy-feely person and have to restrain myself in certain environments from my ease of wanting to greet this way!
