My Background
I have been developing, coordinating, teaching and presenting educational classes, programs and events for over twenty years. My audiences have included health professionals, educators, health and human services providers, and coaches as well as parents, teens and young adults.
Professionally trained as a pharmacist, I am essentially a scientist. Over the past 18 years, I have become an avid explorer of the spiritual realm. At times, this has presented some conflict for me around the science versus spirituality questions. I've learned to reconcile the scientific and spiritual realm by using my scientific background as the grounding force to reality and my belief in the power of Universal energy as the source of my spark. This balance has served me well on my journey and certainly benefits everyone that I serve..
I love the recent movement toward connecting science to spirituality! I am excited about recent developments that have connected scientific evidence with spiritual principles and have identified exciting new pathways towards harnessing the power of the subconscious mind in health and healing, connecting with Universal energy, creating authentic power and manifesting success!
I have always been intrigued by the human brain, the heart and human behavior and how it's all connected. My scientific background and personal and professional interests have provided me an understanding of the brain, specifically teen brain development, as well as a biological, physiological and behavioral understanding of adolescence. This background, combined with the work I do with kids and youth service providers around teen pregnancy prevention, substance use and drop-out prevention gives me a unique perspective that simply must be shared with parents and incorporated into the education and training of ALL teachers and youth workers to maximize their ability to build rapport and facilitate success in teens.
Combine all that with my organizational skills, as well as my coaching, networking, communication and facilitation skills and you will discover a professional who stands eager to explore how we can work together to transform the future of our youth, our educational system and each other!
Additional Experience
I received my BS in Pharmacy from the University of Rhode Island. As a pharmacy practitioner my practice specialty was adolescent medicine and patient education.
As a corporate business consultant, my primary specialty areas have included professional education, training and program development as well as organizational change and personal transition.
Following a major life transition in 2002, I left the corporate world and professional practice, engaged the services of a life coach and began to explore my purpose, discover my passion and pursue my life vision. This journey led me to the mountains and lakes of New Hampshire, which now serves as my home base and my spiritual center.
Over the past 10 years, I have discovered my life work and my soul purpose teaching and coaching teens as a Community Outreach Educator at the White Mountain Community Health Center in Conway, NH. The kids have connected me with my essence, super-charged my creativity, and reminded me how to stay in the moment, appreciate the possibilities that exist in the present and look toward the future with excitement and energized anticipation.
I am a graduate of Jack Canfield's Breakthrough to Success training and use his Success Principles as a foundation for my personal work, as well as in the work I do with teens and youn adults. Over the past year I have been training with Jack in his Success Principles Train the Trainer program during which Jack has served as my teacher and mentor. This has truly been a transformational experience and training directly with Jack and his team has been invaluable.
What Else I'm Up To
I am currently developing a curriculum for teens based on Jack Canfield's book The Success Principles for Teens. While at BTS, a memeber of the Canfield Training Group heard me talk about my work with teens and asked if I would have some of my teens review Jack's book. The feedback I have received from the kids has been overwhelming! They say that "all teens need this information and this material should be a class at school for high school and college kids." I am now working with teens and educators to explore the best ways to present the information in both the classroom and virtual setting.
This project is exciting! This work has the potential to improve academic engagement, enhance teen motivation, support teens connecting with their unique purpose and their vision of personal success and helping them eliminate limiting beliefs that hold them back from their fullest potential. I see huge application in reducing unintended pregnancy, enhancing academic engagement, promoting entrepreneurship and reducing substance use in teens by eliminating limiting beliefs while harnessing the power of the subconscious mind in reaching one's fullest potential!
