I've raised two sons and led a rewarding career in HR and business working primarily in the entertainment and media industry.

I was Chief HR Officer at Sesame Workshop, the producer of 'Sesame Street', until last year when I left to pursue additional interests.

Since no longer working full-time, I've rediscovered my passion for art (I was a double major in Art History and Studio Art). I've learned about contemporary art, investing in art and trying my hand in making art again. I follow politics and business closely and would welcome serving on more boards and doing HR consulting.

After living in New Jersey for more than 30 years, I relocated back to my hometown of NYC eight years ago to eliminate an onerous commute and spend more time enjoying the city.

I'm on the Oberlin Reunion Planning Committee and would be thrilled to hear from classmates who have suggestions or just want to reconnect!!

My fondest memories are two-fold.

First, they are of being a novice cook at two co-ops, Baldwin and Keep. I cooked for the first time and was barely strong enough to stir and lift the large caldrons of food. I remember dropping an entire oven rack of meat loaves on the kitchen floor in Baldwin!

Second, they are of sitting in darkened classrooms looking at slides of beautiful works of Greek, Far Eastern, Northern and Italian Renaissance, Baroque and Modern Art. Those classes opened up a world to me I had never known.

Till this day, I feel instantly connected to any person I meet who says they attended Oberlin.
