IF YOU WANT TO REACH ME...VISIT MY FB PAGE @: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=599860983&ref=nam eCurrently I'm living in Juan Dolio, Dominican Republic, but I've lived in NY (raised there), CA, OR, and AR in the US. I've travelled extensively including a graduate internship in Norway and in the PRC. I believe people come first over things and I'm a pacifist (& Unitarian Universalist aka UU). My 3 boys have been raised with "attachment parenting," homeschooling, and non-violent discipline; all of us are "outdoor" people. We camp, hike, bike, swim, play games, surf, etc. but I enjoy both "adult time" and intergenerational activities.
There's a huge part of me that is still a kid. That said, I have a doctorate in Public Health and Masters Deg in Behavioral Science & Health Ed from UCLA; two undergrad BAs from UCSD. I've taught university/college students since 1986 and had a thriving practice helping new moms and babies. Currently I am serving as a rural Public Health officer in the DR.

I've been described as: exhuberant, gregarious, active, exhausting to be with, relentless, persistent, articulate, passionate, "full-of-life" and a "wild child." So be it.

Down to the core, I live and breathe science and constantly question the world. I'm an avid net-user and have difficulty living without access to my email and list serves. Meeting new people, doing new things, travelling, and exploring are major highlights of my life. However, I also like to keep in touch with "old" friends (some of you are from elementary school!) Something that bugs me: apathetic people who aren't curious, don't question, abuse the earth and don't really care to truly connect with other beings. Whenever possible, I try to see opportunities to make a difference in the lives of living things.
