Meet the Woman Behind Penultima:
Carla Roberts
Carla retired in the fall of 2021 after reinventing herself through three career transitions in educational administration, arts administration and philanthropy. Now in retirement, she feels a calling to assist others who have made similar transitions. Her credentials include a BFA in fine arts and an MFA in arts administration. She holds a CFP, Certified Facilitation Professional from the Institute of Cultural Affairs and is a certified Death Midwife. Presently she is enrolled in a doctoral program in Transformational Leadership and Coaching at Maharishi International University.
Always a late bloomer, I graduated from high school in 1969 and took a decade to complete my undergraduate work in the fine arts at the University of Alaska. My initial work experience in educational administration inspired me to pursue a graduate degree in arts administration, awarded by the University of Iowa in 1981. After a rewarding career in the arts during which I traveled the world, I was honored by the opportunity to work in philanthropy. Philanthropy, the love of humankind, enabled me to reach more of my full potential. In each of my careers, I coached and mentored others. I developed a facilitative leadership style that encouraged me to invest in people and lead them toward greater potential. Now, in retirement I still feel called to serve. On more than one occasion I have found myself assisting family and friends who are in their final transition. I think I can help with the space between retirement and death--the space in which I currently reside.
