Welcome to Grit With Grace
Grit, Grace, Growth, and Gratitude are the overriding principles I do my best to apply in both my professional and personal life. I inherited these principles from my mother — an elegant, dignified woman — and my father — a compassionate, devoted World War II veteran. Whether advising families on best governance practices, helping philanthropists align their portfolios with their values, or sailing with my beloved husband and dog, I aim to make the 4 Gs my fundamental tenets.
As someone with Russian heritage, I’ve never been partial to summer, beach days, or beachy books. I’m a fall girl: Days shorten, winds chill, and I joyfully anticipate the invigorating cold and snow.
