About Me
I am terribly curious about the world and intend to spend my time on it meeting as much of her as possible. I am a mother of one wonderful little boy, named Rio Azul, and partner to a talented and aspiring chef. I enjoy exploring new ideas, feelings, and ways of knowing with whomever I am granted the opportunity to have them with. Getting to know new faces in new and familiar places, has always been a joy of mine and a reason for my vocation as a Cultural Anthropologist. In everything that I do, I intend to do it in service to others. My hope as an educator is to help the world see and be a little more by embracing the beauty and inligence of our collective consciousness.
