About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make impact on others and travel the world

ABOUT ME

Spent 20 years in business and non-profit work, in the USA and abroad - focused mainly on strategy and personal development. In 2009, made a career change to teaching college - to be at the crux of transformation of peoples lives and to have an awesome work/life balance to allow me to travel and explore. This summer I walked 700+ miles of a pilgrimage across Europe to Rome (via Francigena).

PHILOSOPHY

Be gentle with yourself, while challenging yourself. In order to grow, we must constantly step outside our world in little and big ways.
