As an educator and facilitator, I have:
Taught in undergraduate and graduate classrooms
Directed college theatre productions
Guest lectured through invitation
Co-designed and co-facilitated online workshops and classes focused on grieving, healing, embodied awareness, and nature engagement

Created the Grief Pen Pal Network, which I’ve facilitated for seven years
Continued my own learning through classes, books, garden visits and forest hikes, and volunteer opportunities
