I am a freelance writer and educator living in New York City. During the day, I share my passion for the power of the written word with high school students in the Bronx. In the evening I write about health, healing and hope. As a writer, the most important thing I can do is educate people to possibilities they may not have considered, add some small insight to the collective consciousness and give volume to voices too often ignored. As an educator, I do much of the same thing. As a person, I embrace the balance that comes through nourishing my body with natural nutrition and exercise. I am a vegetarian runner who thinks she really needs to give yoga a serious try. My soul is fed though reading, writing and reflection.
