  I began my career as a special education teacher in an impoverished school in Alabama, where I received a street education to balance my college degree. Simultaneously, I wrote poetry and essays until eventually I became a freelance writer, which served me well as a young mom. I wrote a book, co-founded a pre-school, then took on a temporary stint at the Texas Department of Health allowed me to integrate what I had learned as both teacher and writer, as I was trained to do qualitative research; mediate disputes; read quantitative data, and coalesce it all into educational campaigns, a passion that led me to found Orchard Communications and eventually, Suma/Orchard Social Marketing, where I worked for 25 years as a consultant for governmental and NPOs working in the arenas of health promotion and education. During those years, I had the privilege of interviewing thousands of women and men across the U.S. in one-on-one or focus group settings, about issues ranging from relationships, health care, disease-of-the-week prevention and care, education of children, and related topics. The resulting educational campaigns created by my company were far-reaching and award-winning. One of the greatest and most satisfying questions I'll never know is how many people were touched or changed by what they learned indirectly from us. After 25 years, a severe case of road weariness and concern for my aging parents, I left my business to be a part-time caregiver and to return to school to drink from deeper wells of wisdom. I earned my MAJS from Hebrew College and became certified as a storyteller and master teacher. With the death of my parents and satisfied with the result of my childrearing (my kids are pretty great!), I continue to consult, teach adults the ancient Jewish discipline of Mussar, mentor (when asked), and serve as a board member for Any Baby Can, Center for Contemporary Mussar and the endowment committee of my synagogue.
