One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had my fortune read on the top of the mountain where kung-fu was founded...it turned out to be undeniably true.

Teach, Learn, Share

My greatest teacher to date is my husband. He is a native of Italy and has opened my eyes to a completely different viewpoint on culture, life, and people. Also, I teach intercultural communication courses and have always been excited to be part of opening up students' minds to those who are different.
