I am a homeschooling (unschooling style) mom to two teen boys who is passionate about parenting/child rights, psychology, sociology, nutrition, education, wellbeing, economics, cooking, hiking/nature, writing, and progressive politics. I value curiosity above all and pride myself on being a thoughtful, diplomatic, empathetic human. I am fascinated by human behavior in all its complexity. My professional life has been in the arenas of medicine, education, mental health, and social work, but my life is dedicated to my family first and foremost.
