"In my practice as a career consultant and coach the most valuable assets that I draw from combine the extensive knowledge and career experience I have acquired over the past 27 years being an art professional in New York, the art capital of the world. (Read her bio.) I also apply the skills of listening, observing, questioning, and motivating which I have developed from years of studying and practicing psychology, spirituality, and coaching."
