Over the past 20 years I've woven in and out of two worlds: philosophy, and public communication. I am thrilled to be teaching courses at Santa Rosa JC and at Santa Clara University, that allow me to combine these two loves in a rich learning environment. A New York transplant, I now live in the country with my family, horses, and an assortment of pets; in addition to philosophy and literature I sing with a choir, ride dressage and trail, support local ballet and theater, and am a dedicated "vaulting mom" (go ahead, ask me what that is!).
