I started this journal to share what I’ve learned about health awareness — thoughtfully, gracefully, and without the noise – to bring you closer to a positive outcome in caring for yourself. I more than welcome your comments or questions by replying to any of my articles.

My educational background is comprised of a Doctor of Psychology degree from California Southern University, a Master of Science degree in Health Communications from Boston University, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Liberal Studies from Mount Ida College. I am a member of the American Public Health Association as well as the American Psychological Association. I volunteer at the Public Health Museum in various ways, including giving tours and digitizing historical health records.

Traveling, playing the piano, creative cooking, swimming, and maintaining a customized fitness program are a few of my favorite pastimes. I share my life with a man who greets people in the jungle, reflects on rain in November, loves sweet children, takes the night train, and whistles about having patience.
