| Introduction | I grew up in a small town in Ohio and wanted to be many things: a vet, a psychologist, and something I called an “artist scientist.” I spent a lot of time watching birds, and traveling in the interior landscapes of my imagination. My first semester at college I fell in love with anthropology and other people’s stories. I studied art, comparative literature and cultural anthropology. I went on to get a Master of Arts in Medical Anthropology -- the cultural study of healing and sickness around the world. Between then and now I have traveled a meandering pathway living in many different places and working as journalist, second grade school teacher, photography student, gorilla researcher, health educator at a sperm bank, and now I write grants for art and film at UC Berkeley. My heart’s desire has been to be in the healing arts for a long while. I finally got up the courage to go that direction and honestly, I’m really, really energized and happy about this step! With Chinese Medicine the whole world comes together for me. |
