Were you born and raised in Boston? If not, what brought you here?
No, I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. I went to undergrad at West Virginia University, where I met a wonderful guy and moved up to be closer to him after graduation. I took a job with American Airlines and moved here—now I live the life I love on Plum Island in Newburyport.
Tell us more about your job or company and what led you to your career?
I have always been a champion of women—from being in a sorority (Kappa Delta) in college to serving in leadership roles on many Boston Boards. I spent 15 years in the corporate world in sales, partnerships, and strategy at Fortune 500 companies, plus an appointment in a startup group at MIT. These experiences prepared me to become the Founder of 28 Carrots for Women Entrepreneurs and to coach women.
