An anthropologist at heart, I have explored the world, her people and cultures, serving by organizing, leading, teaching and building. At the University of Colorado, working with a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, I helped American Indian communities reduce substance abuse by their young people.At UBS in Switzerland and London, I worked in Training and Communications to help 40,000 employees in four countries learn how to use new technologies and platforms in their work. At New York Cares in New York City, I created a Youth Service Program, engaging hundreds of high school seniors in the Bronx and Upper Manhattan in service work in their own neighborhoods.After moving to El Salvador with my husband, I started my entrepreneurial career. First, I founded my own SAT PREP and College and Career Coaching business, helping Salvadoran students gain entrance to competitive universities in the USA.Together, my husband and I conceived of Cadejo Brewing Company, El Salvador's first microbrewery, which has now grown to 2 brewhouses and 12 restaurants and employs more than 275 people.In 2016, for my own children, I co-founded a Montessori School and purchased my first franchise - an Acton Academy K-12 Affiliate, which has grown from 12 to 70 families in 7 years. We employ 16 women who are rapidly developing as highly professional and experienced Montessori guides.I also had the honor of hosting "The New Schools" podcast, for which I interviewed many of the greats of alternative, innovative and self-directed learning.
Listed skills include Coaching, Writing, Facilitation, Public Speaking, and 23 others.
