Practitioner Profile:

I received my B.S. in Speech, Theatre and English from Ithaca College in 1970, and my M.A. in Communication Theory at Bowling Green State University in Ohio in 1971. In that year, I began teaching Speech at the University of Maryland at Baltimore County. I taught speech and communications at UMBC and several other area colleges for several years while continuing my education for my doctorate at the University of Maryland at College Park. From 1977 through 1986, I became the manager of training and development for several different organizations, including the City of Baltimore and the University of Maryland at Baltimore.

I was “lured” back into classroom teaching by one of my adult students, an administrator for the Baltimore County Public Schools. I served in a teaching/administrative role for the public high schools in Baltimore County for four years before the power of my own acupuncture treatments led me to investigate the role of acupuncture as a career. I became an acupuncturist in 1990, and have been profoundly moved by my work with patients ever since.
