From living across two continents amidst war and peace, I've learned to make sense of the world through compassionate observation and attentive listening. Over thirty-five years, my journey in education has deepened my appreciation of our shared narratives and their connection to every life form and the planet itself.

My naturopathic nutrition training revealed our bodies' intricate ecosystem and its dialogue with the environment. Understanding how our surroundings influence our essence and well-being, I was moved to act following the loss of a beloved sibling. It was a lesson in how our fates aren't sealed by circumstances but by the choices we make for our health.
