From love to lawsuits, her business and personal life intertwine, bringing her to untold heights. Uncanny predictions at a chance encounter with a Fulbright Scholar from India follow her throughout her life, as if written on the wall and fated to happen.
After a life-changing semester in Italy and college graduation, she succeeds in breaking through a glass ceiling of seventy men to become the first woman art director at a major New York City advertising agency. Chauvinism fuels a desire for change, which spawns a year of travel adventures. Whether skiing the powdery snow in Aspen, or waking up on a beach in Mexico to men with machine guns, each adventure brought challenges and insights to add to an ever-broadening awareness. Back in Manhattan, mind-expanding events continue. A lucky break merges with swirling thoughts to ignite a new business. Running a successful start-up attracts ADWEEK Magazine of New York. She's placed first on their list of "The Dynamic Dozen." It should have been smooth sailing, but sharks were circling. A court battle followed.
Marriage to an extroverted older man in her early thirties adds children to a busy business life. She didn't anticipate the added challenges of a child with a learning disability.
