I have had extensive training and experience in developing and teaching in online classrooms in the graduate school as well as more recently via Zoom.us Mindfulness and meditation classes. I have specialized in Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and more recently am certified as a Nature and Forest Therapy Guide (ANFT). I am a writer, with a Masters degree in Writing from Northeastern University in Boston; my doctorate from the University of Memphis; I have taught abroad in Finland, and in Paris, France, and continue to consult internationally. Most recently assisting in setting up a study abroad program in Finland. It is interesting that I resisted virtual settings originally, yet because it was necessary, I have learned to created active, engaged experiences for learners of all ages, and enjoy this immensely. My students have assisted me through co-creation and feedback to keep this alive and engaging as well as novel and meaningful. I balance this with time in the forest and have recently begun drawing and sharpening my skills in observation and concentration meditation. "Wellbeing is a skill" has become a theme and I enjoy assisting others in developing these abilities for increased health and personal joy.
