Something Interesting About You:

I started out as a medical anthropologist where I realized that the impacts of industrialized culture on indigenous peoples was causing the same mental and physical illnesses that we struggle with. I speak Spanish. I started visiting Mexico when I was 14, lived in Spain for 2 years and did my doctoral research in Cuba under Castro's rule, where I witnessed first hand the impacts of dictatorship, poverty and the US embargo on everyday people there. I also teach one yoga class a week for fun, do aerial and am passionate about dance, including its healing potential.
