As a mom of two teenagers, I feel strongly about modeling philanthropic behavior for my children; through my work, my own charitable giving, and by volunteering. I also believe that it is important to have work/life balance…one of the many values I share with Strategic Philanthropy, Ltd. Whenever possible, I’ll go to the theater, see live music, bake with my kids, or find ways to create new traditions for all of us.
