I am by nature a change agent. Because I grew up in an Air Force family, at six years old I was in my first Department of Defense Dependents’ school in Taiwan. By the time I graduated from high school in Japan, I had been in and out of three Department of Defense schools in two countries and had lived in five of the United States. Thriving in new environments and creating opportunities for positive change comes naturally to me.
My affinity for creativity, coupled with the fact that I was able to travel and experience the myriad opportunities around the globe first through my four years in the Air Force and then through my professional education career, provided the opportunity to refine and enhance my leadership capacity. From my several years in Germany to those spent in the Bush of Alaska, I have been afforded amazing experiences that have allowed me to collaborate with and learn from equally amazing people.
I love to write about nature and its wonders.
