Born and raised in the Bronx, this Senior Executive Assistant works in New York and has the fortune to sit under a crab apple tree in her backyard in Connecticut. She is a graduate of The New School in Creative Writing and has been practicing mediation since 2000. In search of a home, she travels to various monasteries and has met many wonderful beings. On retreat at Upaya Zen Center, a resident said to her, "So you're like a wandering monk?" The title stuck, and she embraces it with all the courage she has to risk to seek. Currently, she is teaching herself to read and speak Tibetan. And when her face is not stuck behind a book reading, she loves to write, create art, make music/sounds, dance and cradle her two beautiful cats, Lucien and Sasha. Last year she started to bake for the first time...yet another medium in which to be creative and seek her-self.
