I’m from a family of international travellers. I had been to more than 60 countries by the time I was 16 and was fortunate to have that direct exposure to the world's variety of cultures, foods, beliefs, landscapes, and more. I learned TM at 13 and had a unique opportunity to attend TM Teacher Training when I was 15. I taught my first students in Nigeria, where my father was working. After graduate school and raising a family, I returned to teaching TM as a career in 2012 and I’ve taught more than 1500 people, including high school students on the south side of Chicago, doctors and nurses in a COVID treatment hospital, and people of all ages and from all walks of life. I love giving people the gift of transcendence.
