| Introduction | Welcome into my head and thank you for joining me here! This is the sacred place of a globally conscious, nature-driven, spiritual, wanderlust, justice-oriented, creative, visionary, educator, and life-long-learner. This blog has kept me company over the last 15+ years from country to country, state to state, and dream job to dream job. I can't remember half of what has been written, but I assure you that it is an authentic expression of self - in that place and at that time! #DontJudgeMe! I consistently re-write the intro in whatever place I re-find this old friend. Today, its August 2025 in Washington DC. I am excited to design new professional opportunities to increase access to and fulfillment in the field of international education and beyond! Life is good. Opportunities plentiful. The Future, Super Bright. |
