I am new to Pulse Wire, and am very excited to launch into this vast universe of new learning. I will be mentoring a Voices of Our Future citizen journalist this year and can't wait to find out who she is, hear her story, and begin working with her! I will treasure this experience, and will grow from it expansively while I support my mentee on her incredible journey. We have much to learn from each other.

I am an educator whose current position is Director of Special Education. I began my career in education as an elementary teacher, and loved every minute of it. My dream is to open a small school in a place desperately in need of a school. I don't know yet where that will be, but I am certain that this is my mission.

For the past three years, I have studied under the spiritual leadership of the magnificent and insightful Gail Straub. The group I was in, called The Red Thread, pursued spiritual connection by exploring the stories of ourselves, the stories of our family, and finally the story of our spiritual journey, or quest for God. It was an amazing journey. It was this journey that brought me to the World Pulse VOF program. I am so grateful to be a part of this world community.
