After working for more than two decades in an alternative high school program designed to nurture students’ whole beings, I decided to venture out on my own. The educational landscape had changed, and the kinds of deeply personal, customized services we had been fortunate to be able to provide simply weren’t possible within the public education system any longer.

Although I grieved this loss, I also recognized more fully that the world is ever-changing, and that opportunities abound in the new iterations if one is able to see them. In my case, the transition has allowed me time to improve my Spanish, get back to studying yoga, spend time with loved ones, and still serve others in a meaningful way.

Being able to provide a safe space for people of all ages to learn together; honoring and supporting them through struggles and being there for joy; witnessing the light that emanates when people feel heard and empowered, these things remain the core foundation of my work.
