ACTIVITIES
I am passionate about providing help in areas of the world experiencing high need for trauma-informed treatment and low resources. I have lived and worked in poor/low-resourced communities throughout my adult life working in the Child Welfare arena and Community Mental Health programs. I sit on the board of Breakout, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing access to trauma-focused care in high-need/low-resource communities throughout the world. My international fieldwork includes working with school children in India, as well as Rohingya (Rakhine state, Myanmar) refugees in Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazaar (and the staff of organizations assisting people in the Rohingya refugee camps.) When not doing trauma work, I can be found watching wildlife near my home, woodworking, enjoying my family, or exercising by playing Ultimate Frisbee (some call me a fanatic!)
