About Me:

I have a degree in Religious Studies with an emphasis in Women's Studies and Critical Racial Theory. I am a massage therapist and Holistic Health Practitioner and I am currently in a graduate program for Chinese Medicine. I want to be involved in international, sustainable, grassroots health care particularly for women and children. I have a multifaceted religious background and occupy the ambiguous and paradoxical space of the “borderlands”.
