She spent the decade of her twenties in Rome, Italy, working with Jewish refugees and Holocaust survivors, a searing experience that was also rich in blessings. Her life in academia explored diverse areas of study and led to four master’s degrees in history, creative writing, education and counseling. She is bilingual in English and Italian, and has studied French, Russian and Spanish, in the belief that language is a window into the cultural soul. She taught Italian at Wake Forest University, and spent some five years in rural Costa Rica replanting the rain forest. She is a psychotherapist specializing in stress management and personal growth.view less
