End of an Era
Over the last four years, it has been a sincere pleasure and honor to write so many articles written for a variety of audiences.

Getting to Know my Colleagues at Regent Atlantic at their NYC Opening
I am always on the lookout for new quality colleagues on whom I can rely on for good advice and support. Recently, at a networking function, I was fortunate enough to meet Barbara Bilello (right) who was kind enough to invite me to the grand opening of the NYC office of Regent Atlantic, a financial planning firm.

On July 11, 2017, I was happy to give a talk to existing and budding entrepreneurs at the NYC Game Changers Meetup.

Honored to Meet, Katalin Bogyay, Hungarian Ambassador to the United Nations @The Foreign Press Assoc
A beautiful Friday with Hungarian Ambassador to the United Nations, Katalin Bogyay (to my left, your right), at the Foreign Press Association Scholarship Fund Annual Gala.

The Ambassador was incredibly gracious and gave a spell binding speech about her own story and growth as a journalist and diplomat. (and the food, of course, was enviable in the extreme, courtesy of t
