I would much rather fix something than complain about it. I am a social entrepreneur. I love a solid business model. I also love having a positive impact on society. Social enterprise combines business and impact. It has the potential to fix some of the biggest issues facing the world today. My first venture, Give To Get Jobs, is a job board and information hub for jobs that use a sustainable business model to address social and/or environmental issues. A portion of the proceeds from each job posting is donated to fund job creation programs. I am also a social impact strategist. I help other brands develop social impact strategies that make sense.

As Founder of PASA-NJ, I help families affected by Parental Alienation and PAS heal on a personal level through mutual support groups. I also work to increase public awareness of Parental Alienation and PAS by blogging, holding educational workshops and discussions, and supporting family law reform. I work closely with Collaborative Lawyers, Psychologists, Counselors, Mediators, and Divorce Coaches to help families navigate divorce and beyond in a peaceful, conscious and loving manner. By creating awareness, providing education, and supporting laws to help victims, Parental Alienation will become a thing of the past. Children need to be allowed to love both parents as much as they need to be loved by both parents.
