Experience

Published National Magazine Writer. Have worked over 25 years as a personal and career counselor and life coach. As a strengths specialist, focus on helping individuals discover their essence (a blend of personality, temperament, interests, gifts and spirit) and ways to express or manifest it in the real world. Previous Experience: as a certified MBTI Practitioner (personality expert) I help h.s., college, and graduate students (e.g. medical school applicants) successfully craft compelling admissions essays that illuminate their most relevant talents, achievements, and personal stories. My additional graduate work in Widener University's School of Social Work has helped me learn the power of advocacy. I enjoy working with those with physical and mental health challenges by helping them appreciate their gifts and openly express/write about the ways they cope with adversity to achieve wellness in daily life. Have written/been published on a range of topics including the personal values of teens and young adults ('Teen Magazine) and also home design/lifestyle issues. Recently began blogging on issues relevant to the recovery movement for individuals, parents and families affected by drug and alcohol addiction. I enjoy being a tutor because I love working 1:1 with individuals to share my love of the creative process, help catalyze their own creativity, and persuade them that anyone can be a good writer. The secret is to learn how to write authentically and cater to one's own learning and communication style. If you can talk, you can write! For convenience, I also employ tele-coaching (using phone or Skype/Facetime) which fits nicely with my role as a writing coach.
