It was a pleasure working with Jontie. He is adept at handling hard-to-have conversations and negotiating win-win situations for his agency and clients. He knows how to keep a project on track, do a lot with a few resources and manages time for the best results in as efficient a time frame as possible.

I wanted to give a long overdue recommendation to Jontie Karden of Obsessive Compulsive Designers. Jontie is great at seeing the big picture and how everything fits together. He and his wife Pik, designer at OCD, have created a compelling design firm that seeks to not only design and consult but to also to educate their clients. Top qualities for recommendation: * Professional * Great Design Esthetic * Listens and hears the clients * Communicates well * Is detail oriented * Does beautiful work * Jontie & Pik are innovators and forward thinkers

Jul 2018 - Dec 2018
At Fobsie we connected busy working families with wholesome, home-cooked meals. After testing the idea, we decided it wasn't viable in it's current form. I'm looking forward to resurrecting this venture, in the hopes of providing busy families with a healthy alternative to fast food, and talented home cooks with a platform to share their unique dishes with their communities.

At Sakina Design we shared culture, history and conversation. This was done through beautiful gifts and home decorations that we designed, produced, and sold on our e-commerce site. We met great people from around the world who shared our passion. Without any advertising, word of our company spread around the world. To this day people still ask if they can purchase our wall art. Here we learned the challenges of a product business, and the perils of a small niche. At Sakina Design we shared culture, history and conversation.

OCD was a full service graphic design firm. We learned that trying to be everything to everybody, was not a recipe for success, no matter how clever or memorable our name.

At Sall Research, I worked to ensure patient safety and data accuracy, as well as compliance with state, federal, and international laws and regulations. To accomplish these goals I suggested the development of a staff training program, and took the lead in developing and implementing this program.

Jul 2003 - Jun 2004
During my internship I learned to apply the clinical knowledge I gained in medical school. More important than the application of my knowledge, was the education of my patients. I discovered that empowering them with an understanding of their illness alleviated their fear and gave them the ability to better manage their own care.

Researched a proposed immunoglobulin therapy for sexual dysfunction, under the Director of the New York Center for Human Sexuality. I recommended changes to the experiment based on research literature. I also collaborated and coordinated with statisticians to ensure statistically significant results. The study was published in the Journal of Urology in November of 2000.
