Star has been the CEO of Star Leadership for over twenty years; before that, she worked for over twenty years in the Hi-tech Corporate world, leading teams in technology and project management.  She taught project management at Boston University for over twenty years.  She’s finally balanced and enjoying life by focusing on and creating a foundation of gratitude. She is grateful to have started her career as a software engineer who was part of the speech technology product team used by Stephen Hawkins, Stevie Wonder, and other notables. She is over the moon that she gets to play one day a week with her two-year-old grandson and hang out with family and friends.
