Biographical Info
I am a former elementary school classroom teacher, reading specialist, English as a second language teacher, and professor of reading education. As I emerge into what Fr. Richard Rohr calls the "second half of life," I am exploring ways to integrate contemplative and other spiritual practices with my passion for and knowledge of
literacy and literacy education. I am currently serving as an emerging spiritual literacy facilitator, an adjunct faculty member teaching children's literature courses, and an adult literacy volunteer. I strive to embody what Parker Palmer describes as an "undivided life" in which I "let my life speak."My spiritual path is aligned with interfaith and inter-spiritual wisdom traditions, experiential spirituality, and contemplative perspectives. I am an aspiring and unaffiliated Quaker interested in process and open/relational theology. I hold a Certificate in Spiritual Literacy and Transformative Practices and am currently pursuing Spiritual Literacy Facilitator certification from Spirituality and Practice.
