I'm a Consultant, Editor and Producer with a background in clinical psychology and education, experienced in human services fields, the Humanities, and creating content for web production.
I was born in Portland, Oregon and raised in an industrial farming community 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.
