About Sharon Discorfano

A graduate of Rice University, I have a Masters degree in Literature from Georgetown and a Masters degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from New York University, with my initial post-baccalaureate work in Psychology done at Columbia University.  Articles I’ve written have appeared in numerous publications, including The Center for Creative Leadership’s Leadership in Action, The Wilson Quarterly, Natural Awakenings, Arizona Yoga (Managing Editor, 2005-08), and Tucson Parent; I also was a contributor to the Encyclopedia of Industrial and Organizational Psychology (Sage, 2006).  My latest published article was on practicing yoga with a companion animal in the June/July 2010 issue of Animal Wellness.

Currently, I’m also pursuing a law degree at University of Arizona, with the intention of specializing in animal law. My personal experiences in the workplace range from academic settings to the music industry to Wall Street.  I reside in Tucson with my husband Seth and two dogs, Otis and Galileo, where I’m the owner of Lyric Yoga and Wellness.  I keep busy (!), but I enjoy when I get to listen to other people’s stories, or to someone playing a saxophone or cello or guitar (or my four year-old nephew trying to play our piano)… or when I can just hang out with my family, especially on rainy “pajama” days.
