She is sensitive to injustice and human rights violations and is dedicated to helping create a just and peaceful world. She lived for a year as an independent volunteer in solidarity with the people that she wanted to help and whom she came to love in post-war Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh), a country that was recovering from the little-known war and attempted ethnic cleansing by neighboring Azerbaijan, a Turkish cohort, against the citizens of the Armenian enclave.
She taught at Springfield College, Massachusetts; Cape Cod Community
College; and Artsakh State University, has facilitated workshops and presented talks about genocide, injustice, and values.
She has earned awards for short stories; has had several articles published, including photojournalist newspaper articles; and coedited two volumes for the Values Realization Institute.view less
