- What do you hope to gain from and contribute to the learning community:
- LLC provides an excellent opportunity to learn from a wide variety of life experiences. I hope to gain a deeper understanding about the essential elements that cultivate people to be the change they are seeking in the world, on a daily basis. I can contribute what I have learned in skills and knowledge from my life experience grounded in a family legacy of activism, my work as a practitioner and academic as it relates to leader development, the practice of leadership, and just social change.

- Favorite Quotes:
Do not wait for strangers to remind you of your duty. You have a conscience and a spirit for that. All the good you do must come from your own initiative. -The Mayan Codices * Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdaties no doubt crept in, (learn) from them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. Begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. -Emerson
