Professional Experience - Coach, Writer, Editor
My career began as a professional actress working in Manhattan. During that time I secured many temporary positions where I was exposed to all types of work across all industries. I noticed that most people did not like their jobs. I thought it would be a good idea to transfer my skills from my former acting profession to a new career where I could assist others in making career choices. I earned a Masters in Counseling Psychology at Fordham University and subsequently moved into coaching after my graduate studies, with a certification from the International Coach Academy.  I was awarded an Associate Certified Coach Accreditation with the International Coach Federation of which I am in good standing today.
As I was building my career coaching business, I also had a position as the Hall of Fame Director for Interior Design Magazine. This position gave me the opportunity to meet designers, architects, and individuals working for manufacturing companies.  Aside from my event planning duties at the magazine, I began to coach some of these individuals in the A&D community in my part-time career coaching practice.  At the present time, I have moved on from my position at the magazine and I solely dedicate my time to coaching individuals from an array of industries and I also coach writers and offer other services in my DiMonte Publishing business.
 DiMonte Publishing  -is a platform for writers to feature their works and I also offer editing services that include developmental, content, and copy editing. I provide resources for those wanting to self-publish as well.
My novel, Receiving Grace is available on Amazon here.
