An English teacher at Saint Ann’s School, she is also the author of several young adult novels, "Confessions of a Not It Girl," "If I Have a Wicked Stepmother, Where’s My Prince?," "The Breakup Bible" and the forthcoming "Girlfriend Material." She and her husband, the poet Benjamin Gantcher, have two sons and live in Park Slope.

David represents leading corporations and financial institutions, as well as senior executives and directors of public companies, in complex regulatory, enforcement, securities law and corporate governance and compliance matters.
He is Co-Chair of DLA Piper’s recently-established Career Advancement Center. The Center coordinates the firm’s efforts in the areas of professional development, attorney evaluations, recruiting and diversity. David also serves as Chair of the New York office’s Diversity Committee, and as a member of the firm’s nationwide Diversity Committee.

David participates actively in the life of his community. In 2006 and 2007, he served as President of the Board of Trustees of the Park Slope Jewish Center, and from 2004 to 2006 as a member of Brooklyn’s Community Board 6.
