About Rochelle:
There’s no Ivy League school on my resume. No money. No drop-dead beauty. No pedigree. I’m not intimidating. But I was born into a family of hardworking people, and I’m a good listener and observer. And in some ways, all the things I’m not gave me the strength and permission to accomplish what I have. To describe how I feel about work, I often quote Kahlil Gibran: “Work is love made visible.” I am married to book designer Doug Turshen and live in Westchester. we have two remarkable children, Doug and Julia, two brilliant daughters-in-law, and one awesome granddaughter—all of whom I love more than work.
