I have been involved in the martial art of Tae Kwon Do since December 1995.

I began Yoga in 2003.

I was raised in Lexington, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston, rich in natural wonders and history.  An eye for for detail and an appreciation of variety developed, as I explored the  swamps, meadows and woods of my hometown.  My love for nature and the arts began at a very young age.

During my teen years, I became discouraged about my dream of being an artist (visual, musical and martial). 

 The road, to this place and time in my life, has not been a straight and narrow path.  Navigating through a variety of schools, working situations, dwelling places and relationships, I became a strong, creative, flexible, adaptable, and caring human being.  I am thankful for the difficulty of the journey.  These strengths serve me well.  They were especially helpful when I taught elementary art at a school with children of diverse backgrounds.  That was a time of great learning for me.  I have over thirty years of work experience in a variety of fields. 

Due to the abundance and variety of opportunities I've had to express my creativity, I consider myself wealthy.  I am passionate about growing in love, wisdom, consciousness, and healing wholeness.  I love people.  I want to make a difference in the world.  I believe we all can.  It's obvious the planet needs some loving, isn't it?  I put my whole heart into every form of work I do. Living life is an art and a journey without end.  Peace!  Paz! Shalom!
