I’m an author/speaker/nonprofit leader with deep experience at the intersection of workplace and career issues, intergenerational relationships and aging with purpose. My current focus is on how older and younger generations can collaborate to solve society’s biggest problems.I have a talent for connecting good people and good ideas and I’m committed to expanding the diversity of voices that shape our culture. As a Vice President at CoGenerate, a nonprofit working to bridge the generational divide, I Iead our narrative change, thought leadership and field-building efforts. I’m most happy when I’m learning about, speaking about or leading workshops on how to navigate the multigenerational workforce or how to discover (and re-discover) meaningful work across the lifespan. I constantly wrestle with these questions in my own life.I’ve written two books that explore new models for working today, The Encore Career Handbook: How to Make a Living and a Difference in the Second Half of Life, and One Person/Multiple Careers: The Original Guide to the Slash “/” Career. I’ve appeared in or been quoted by numerous media outlets including The Today Show, The Wall Street Journal, and National Public Radio.Prior to my work at CoGenerate, I wrote the Shifting Careers column and blog for The New York Times. I was also a coach to aspiring writers and a journalism teacher. A few careers ago, I practiced law for nearly a decade.I proudly serve as a Senior Advisor to Girls Write Now, as a mentor editor for The OpEd Project, as faculty at The Modern Elder Academy and Union Theological Seminary's Encore Transition Program, and as an Advisor to Able News. Though I often dream of taking a quirky hobby like beekeeping, I’m reliably content with all things bookish, low-stakes poker, travel, and excessively walking the streets of NYC. I live in Greenwich Village, NY with my husband Jay.
