My Story:
My background is diverse, spanning academics, nonprofit, and corporate arenas. I have expertise in a variety of areas such as neuroscience, organizational development, process improvement, nonprofit management, animal health and nutrition, small business, and online technology.
I have taught at the college level as well as serving as a writing tutor and thesis reader for graduate students.
For over a decade I have been active in animal welfare, and I am currently working toward a diploma in Veterinary Assisting. I have recently expanded my interest into animal health and nutrition, especially natural and holistic solutions, and am working with a business partner to educate others in this area.
My other areas of interest include fine art and ethnic art, Spanish language, vegetarianism/veganism, and green living.
I am passionate about learning, teaching and writing, and thus welcome article requests in new areas.
