I believe in community.

I believe in community engagement for all — how it brings meaning, hope, and connection into our lives; and how key it is to building a kinder, more just, and more peaceful world.

I have spent most of my adult life teaching, counseling, and leading in the non-profit sector. I enjoy connecting with others who dedicate their time to creating a better community.
