As a passionate Artist, Holistic Educator, and Art/Eco Therapy advocate, I have been involved in many pursuits and projects over the years that strive towards connecting children to Nature, the Arts, and themselves. This is my mission.
Ღ I have been living in Central America for many years. I have been a part of several movements whilst being abroad, including:
Helping to get clean drinking water systems installed for the local school in the most remote region of Costa Rica (see Live Globally)
Mentoring at the Holistic Education Collective “Life Project Education” (see LPE)
Offering Children’s Art and Eco Education/Therapy services (see Joyful Learning)
Co-Founding and Operating a Sea Turtle and Environmental Conservation project in “one the most biologically intense places on Earth” (see Rascarey Turtle Project)
Founding “Uniendo Mundos Aquí (UMA)” — a collective that strives to “bridge worlds here” — promoting intercultural harmony between local Maya and international demographics, to encourage deep understanding within communities around Lake Atitlan. Done by creating inclusive, safe and beautiful learning spaces/events for diverse groups of children to play and learn together.
Ღ I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a specialization in childhood development, Early Childhood Education certified, and have 10+ years of experience in various educational and therapeutic environments.
