About Evelyn.

My love for the written word and the business environment began at an early age.  Before logo identification, I donned a starched uniform to serve customers in my dad’s pharmacies.  There I learned to model my dad’s authentic relationships with physicians, pharmaceutical representatives, vendors, customers and develop a presence in our community.  Through the years, I have tried to emulate these relationships that ethically built my father’s chain of drugstores and pharmacies.

I paid attention to operations that were challenging including property leases and vendor agreements and changes born from economic development after which my dad developed new models for the suburbs.

My dad’s early trust in me developed my personal fortitude to attend a private dinner for 150 automobile executives at the Toledo Museum of Art.  Reflecting on that time when I volunteered to serve as a greeter, the World Car Symposium was my first exposure to active networking and gaining global perspectives. This event became my springboard to cultural sensitivity beyond that of my maternal and paternal immigrant grandparents.

I remain curious and love to connect people and ignite mindful conversations. My love for the written word overarches my dedication to social justice where I respond pro bono to selected nonprofit organizations.

What some people don’t know about me is that I have bridged multiple challenging situations over the years.

I earned my “Ph.T” (putting hubby through law school) and carved my own path after divorce. I have challenged HR decisions, lived through downsizing with colleagues when our division was sold, and thrived in every new environment, including mingling with distinguished artists. I have resided in rural communities in several states yet dream of returning to city life where I will leave less of a carbon imprint. I love to research topics of interest to my clients and support creative colleagues who are strategic thought leaders.  I love to read young adult novels with my grandchildren and help others share their legacies through storytelling. Everyone has a story. I am currently writing poems and short stories about the courage of the immigrant population in my community and that of my grandparents who immigrated from Russia and Hungary.

When you meet with me, expect a deep dive to mindfully explore the roots of your current challenge and goals for your next adventure.  Together we will design a realistic plan measurable in next steps.  You will have an accessible partner in me throughout our engagement.
