ABOUT ME

For 15+ years, I’ve been living/working in the “social” sector, which is to say, I’ve labored in service of the health, growth, and wellbeing of individuals and groups for 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 clinical social work, and nonprofit leadership from the University of Pennsylvania, where I also received specialized training and practice in helping groups and organizations understand, work with, and change their group dynamic. With my free time, I volunteer with End Of Life Choices Oregon (EOLCOR), practice bonsai, and endeavor to put my feelings into words. (Read some of my writing here.)
