Learn, grow,
& have fun

I am passionate about the things that make us human: aging, grief, the body, & communication. 
My personal and professional path has given me decades of experience in these areas. One of my first jobs was working as a CNA at nursing homes. From there, I began working in the corporate sector, wearing MANY hats over the years. Most recently, I obtained my PhD. in Social Psychology and certifications in Mind-Body Medicine and Foundations in Contemplative Care.
I use evidence-based practices to raise awareness, stimulate curiosity, and provide the opportunity to explore the stories we tell about this human experience.
