I'm a producer, editor and consultant with a strong background in psychology, education and literary theory—experienced in creating and curating content for web-consumers.
BACKGROUND
I was born in Portland, Oregon and raised in an industrial farming community of migrant-laborers near the Columbia River Gorge. I attended local public schools and excelled in English and athletics.
Thereafter I completed undergraduate then graduate studies which included independent learning contracts, study abroad modules, externships, and clinical-training as an outpatient child and family psychotherapist.
