I am a graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a BA in Medieval and Renaissance Studies with minors in English and History. This program also included studies in Philosophy and Theology. This was a heavy research-oriented program of study.

I have done graduate work in Mental Health Counseling at Capella University.

I did briefly substitute teach in the early 2000s and I was a Special Education High School Resource Math and Social Studies teacher.

Currently, I am an Ordained Minister in Shamanism and a Licensed Massage Therapist. I am also a Massage Therapy Instructor. Generally, the courses I teach revolve around energy healing such as; Reiki, Aura Healing, Crystal Healing, Meditation, and Journaling.

I did teach children ages 3-13 in an online program out of Beijing teaching English to Chinese children. I was a teacher in that program for nearly 4 years. I do have my TESOL and TY7 Certificates for that purpose.

My first experience as a classroom teacher was at the age of 19. I went to the Montessori Education Center of the Rockies to become a Montessori Teacher. I taught a 3 to 6-year-old class in Albuquerque, NM for about 18 months before I moved out of state.

I enjoy teaching others. There is so much to learn. Montessori taught me that teaching is not just the teacher pouring information into the student, rather it is about a triangle perspective that includes the teacher, the student, and the environment; each learning and affecting the other.
