My Story

My educational background is a little bit of everything. In 2001 I studied Photography and Anthropology until 2005. In 2005 I attended Hypnosis Motivation Institute (HMI) and certified in Clinical Hypnotherapy. After taking a few years off from school to raise a family, I went back to school and received two Associate degrees. In 2015 I transferred to California State University of Monterey Bay (CSUMB) and got my BA in Collaborative Health & Human Services with a concentration in Social Work and Public Administration. I took a year off to teach high school in Monterey County. I taught Digital Media, Biology, US History and English. Teaching high school was one of the biggest challenges in my career but the most rewarding. Then in 2019 I went back to CSUMB and got my Masters in Instructional Design and Technology. I currently create training for Physicians and RN’s. I continue to make art and run 2 Etsy shops with my mother. Together we make purses, stashes and roses out of recycled vintage papers and books.
