My career over the past 15 years has been very multi-dimensional. Here’s a quick tour of my professional life - across sectors and all around the world! My professional roots are in management consulting…

My path to founding and operating a baking business has been far from direct. Just like the recipes that inspire Boomerang Bites, I am a transplant from Australia. Trained as a civil engineer, I arrived in the US in my 20s to pursue graduate study and built a career at the World Bank, spending much of the last twenty years traveling to remote corners of the globe providing advice, and more recently teaching graduate students - on how to deliver essential services (water, sanitation, electricity, roads, public transport) to underdeveloped communities in low-income countries.

The Co-Co started 2021 with a member-exclusive salon conversation. This virtual salon was the third in our series of member-exclusive salons. Our first gathering was a dinner and discussion at Lynne’s house BEFORE we opened The Co-Co space.

After I started my career as a lawyer, I didn’t have a lot of time to write creatively, though I wrote a lot as an attorney.

I moved to Korea (from California) about 10 years ago for a job as a professor. I loved that job: getting to work WITH bright young minds, getting to be in the classroom to teach and learn from them, and the incredible paid time off I had to travel the globe during winter and summer vacations. 4 years into my job as a professor, I got an unexpected invitation to speak in Austria. From there, I was invited to speak in Mexico…

I started my career in Los Angeles, adapting novels into TV movies for Hallmark, and then editing fiction at Simon & Schuster after moving back to NYC. I always saw myself in more of an editorial role than working as a writer.
