After more than 25 years of advertising, marketing, and consulting, Nanette jumped to the "A Team"--working to further worthwhile ministries to make the world a better place. From the corporate world to the "real" world, as Director of Communication at All Saints' Episcopal Church in Phoenix, Nanette gets to marry the best of marketing and communications with the ability to help people at all the touch points of theirs lives. She truly enjoys preparing the liturgical materials needed for all worship services, adding a bit of creativity where she can.

From owning and running an advertising agency for 15 years with annual billings exceeding $9 million (Bellewood Group), to being a Director of Branding for the Phoenix office of a $13 billion Internet consulting firm (marchFirst) to helping people re-market themselves after being laid off (through world's largest career transition organization, Right Management), Nanette says all of her work is about "finding creative solutions for today's dog-eat-dog world." At one time, she was "Mom" to more than 150 refugees known as "the Lost Boys of Sudan." She lives in Phoenix, Arizona with her husband of several decades and a myriad of rescued pets including dogs, cats, cockatoos, and a horse. Her extracurricular activities include Krav Maga (Israeli Defense hand-to-hand combat system), firearms training, reading thrillers, photography, and writing children's books. She hails from Los Angeles, California, where she was a graduate of UCLA. She has never met a chocolate chip cookies she did not like.
