My background as a Montessori teacher has been the impetus for the community observation and development approach I’ve taken to my daily life throughout my career.

This semester I had the opportunity to enroll

Fat Chance for the “Fat Tax” Our bodies and what we put into them is our own business unless someone else is harmed in the process.
