I’ve been studying Eastern contemplative texts and practices for over a decade. I am a published writer and certified Cultivating Emotional Balance teacher, helping people better understand their emotional responses and learning skills for constructively dealing with those emotions in everyday life.

By day, I write technical documentation at a very large tech company in Washington. Prior to my work in the tech industry, I spent many years in the legislative and public policy arenas both at the state and federal levels, then worked for non-profit organizations advocating for civil rights and civil liberties. I’ve published my writing in (old school) print and online publications. For the last several years I’ve been studying the Dharma and cultivating my meditation and yoga practices. I live in Seattle with my wife and two children. My pronouns are she/her.
