Wendy Gold Rossi

Wendy Gold Rossi grew up in New York City and Long Island. She attended SUNY @ StonyBrook but soon discovered that college life was not a good fit. Instead, she began a career in the music industry, first at a recording studio and subsequently at Polygram, A&M Records, IRS Records and Charisma Records. Following the sale of Charisma Records in 1992, she pivoted her knowledge of CD manufacturing, as applied to multimedia production first for Donovan Data Systems and then at Prentice-Hall publishing.

Wendy took a break from her working life after the birth of her daughter, but eventually re-established a career in consulting. Eventually, her consulting led to providing business advisory services at a New York City law firm for the final twenty years of her career providing real estate tax incentive advisory services to real estate clients of a major New York law firm.

Despite her career in business, Wendy has pursued creative expression in many forms over the course of her life, and plans to try many more. She took several years of dance classes and was briefly a member of the modern dance troupe, Electric Company in Great Neck, NY. After ten years of classical music training in piano at Mannes College of Music Preparatory School and privately, Wendy abandoned classical piano, teaching herself folk guitar instead. She also spent many years singing in choirs, in youth center plays and at small coffee houses. In 2012, she tried woodturning for the first time, which has since become a creative passion. And in 2023, she became passionate about glass-fusing and fabricating beaded jewelry. A lifelong learner, Wendy is also a creative non-fiction writer and has a novel in progress.

Now retired from the corporate world, Wendy lives in Southeastern Pennsylvania with her husband and her cats, enjoying her creative writing, reformer pilates classes, trying out new art forms and volunteering at the local library.
