Professional education and credentials
I have a BA in psychology from Saint Martins University in Lacey, Washington, and a MS degree in Management and Leadership from Western Governors University. Prior to retiring, I worked in various companies, including eBay Inc for 13 years as a community development manager and a software company in Seattle for 8 years in IT and sales. I've also served as a hospice volunteer and hospice volunteer coordinator for a few years. I've lived in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Wyoming, Seattle, San Jose, Colorado, Salt Lake City, and Reno, NV. In 2015, I moved back to Reno where I live with my dad, my husband, and my two 20-something sons.
​
My formal part-time practice in healing arts started in 2007. I've been a student of A Course in Miracles since 1987, and I've studied and practiced healing arts since the late 1990s. Read my short spiritual biography for my perspective on this work.
