Life is Sweet
I'm a happy and independent woman living in San Francisco, CA. I work as a counselor in a mental health clinic. Grad school (MSW or MFT) is looming in my future, soon. I love my job, the city I live in and the people in my extended family.
There was a time when I was a grumpy middle-aged stockbroker. I hated it even though it paid well and I was good at it. There's just not much satisfaction in making money for people that already have lots of money
A lengthy illness gave me a new perspective and I reassessed my direction in life. I learned to live in the moment and go after the things I really wanted. Three years ago I made my transition from male to female. My job is I help mentally ill offenders get jobs, manage their illness and learn to live happier more productive lives. I'm very happy with my choice even though I'll never make the money I did in financial services :)

California Diversity Council presentation
I was invited to present my story of transition in the workplace by the CDC. The audience was HR and diversity professionals that work in the corporate world. They represented companies such as Robert Half International, Charles Schwab & Co., The American Red Cross and Oracle. The participants were very interested in what I had to say. I talked about my transition at work and how the management team supported me and made the change easy for me and my co-workers. I probably should have thanke… Continue
