ABOUT ME

For 15+ years, I have lived and worked in the “social” sector, which is to say, I’ve labored in service of the health, growth, and wellbeing of individuals and groups for over 15 years.

In this period, I studied and won credentials in literature and film from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln; in poetry writing from the University of Pittsburgh; and in nonprofit leadership and clinical social work from the University of Pennsylvania, where I also received specialized training and practice in supporting groups and organizations to better understand, work with, and transform their group dynamic.

In my free time, I volunteer with End Of Life Choices Oregon, practice bonsai, and endeavor to put my feelings into words. (You can read some of my writing here.)
