I chose this career while I was teaching English in Spain. I taught overseas and loved working with people all over the world in different cultures. I did get involved with many professional Association and furthered my education in obtaining a Master's degree in Intercultural Relations which added to my credentials.

I received a Master degree in Intercultural Relations from Lesley University and a Bachelor's degree in English Language and Literature from Lewis & Clark College.

The biggest challenge is being a outspoken woman in a world that doesn't appreciate that.

My greatest strength is believing that  the best ideals happen when groups of people work together and decision making.

My greatest accomplishment while in the role of  Interim Director, I help launch a International Resource Center , working with students, faculty , helping people to get excited about visionary things and keeping that momentum. I also established for OSU in 2014 a Social Justice Retreat for International students, creating social justice retreats and have a International Pyramid Program.

My professional goal is being in the role I hold, wanting to continue in higher education and  continue in my passion  in training and doing consulting work.

I am inspired by having that strong passion, learning to help people and making that creative environment for people to create their authentic self.

I want to be remembered for having three things on my agenda, having integrity. being compassionate and self compassionate and speaking my truth and listening deeply.

I enjoy spending time with my children, family, reading, travel and hiking.
