I've always been curious about what helps people connect: to themselves, to one another, to their communities, and to a sense of purpose.

​

Looking back, I realize I've been asking all the same questions. What makes a gathering meaningful? What helps communities thrive? What makes people come alive? How do we create the conditions for people to do their best?

​

Whether I'm working with an individual, a leadership team, or a room full of hundreds of people, I'm designing experiences that help people connect more deeply with themselves, with one another, and with what matters most.

​

For more than twenty years, I've partnered with nonprofits, foundations, schools, synagogues, businesses, museums, and community organizations to facilitate retreats and conferences, strengthen communications, clarify strategy, build community, and bring ambitious ideas to life.

​

Meditation has been at the heart of that work throughout my career. I teach workshops and retreats, lead mindfulness programs, offer one-on-one coaching, served as Mystic-in-Residence, and created programs weaving together meditation and spirituality with parenting.

​

I also partner with mission-driven organizations, often in collaboration with Greater Good Strategy, helping teams strengthen digital communications, facilitate strategic conversations, and design meaningful experiences.​ 

​

Clients have included The Neighborhood, Hillel International, Kavod v'Nichum, At The Well, Fleet Science Center, CEDA, Jewish Funders Network, Skirball Cultural Center, Caring for Mama, Camp Ramah, Jewish LearningWorks, Schusterman Family Philanthropies, OLAM, Leichtag Foundation, Foundation for Jewish Camp, JPRO, Jim Joseph Foundation, and the Jewish Federations of North America.

​

I began my career as an urban planner, working on projects focused on public space, community development, and economic opportunity. Today, my work happens in very different settings, but I still find myself asking many of the same questions about how people, communities, and places thrive.

​

I founded and directed the first grassroots Jewish Meditation Center, received the Joshua Venture Group Fellowship for social entrepreneurs, and was named one of The Jewish Week's Visionaries for a New Era. I hold a Master of Science in Urban Planning from Columbia University and a Bachelor of Engineering from The Cooper Union.
