Marilyn knows something about making life and career changes.
She was a stay-at-home wife and mother before she
was divorced in 1994. Having a 20-year-old
Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology, and no formal adult
job experience, she considered a graduate degree to be the “key to my future.” After three years, sharing
custody of their five children and sometimes working three
part-time jobs, she completed a Master of Science in Clinical
Psychology at the age of 45.
Following graduate school Marilyn worked as a psychotherapist
in an inpatient mental health unit, a partial hospital program,
and a private outpatient practice. She loved her
job but it did not provide her with the benefits or the hours
that she needed as a single mother and she was forced to seek
other employment.
She accepted a position as the regional director of a national
non-profit child welfare agency.
During her three-year tenure at the agency she was appointed
to a national policy-making board, conducted a training at
a national staff conference, developed a marketing program
that was utilized in different parts of the country, and was
respected as a leader among her colleagues. In spite of excellent performance evaluations the local board of directors was dissatisfied with Marilyn's performance and abruptly fired her. She had no
idea they had not been content with what she did.
Make The Right Turn On Red™is the result of Marilyn’s
search for a new direction for her life. Believing that women
provide inspiration to each other she began this web site
to allow women the opportunity to inspire others through sharing
their stories, to provide a resource for women who are experiencing
life changes, and to provide an avenue for women to ask questions
of others who have experienced similar situations.

Using the same assessments provided to individuals to determine a satisfying career fit, Marilyn works with organizations that want to find motivated and engaged employees.
