I came to Sedona in 2000 with the Buddhist Community with which I stayed for 18 years, 10 of which I was a nun. After I left my ordination I felt the need to be of service empowering people like my teachers did with me.

Many doors opened…

In 2001, I started as a volunteer counseling battered women at the Verde Valley Shelter, I continued studying Psychology.
In 2002 – 2011, I was CEO Director of Education of The Latin America Center, building bridges between communities and with the support of the City of Cottonwood I counseled Hispanic families / individuals.
In 2002 – 2004, I worked at the YES Program from the Verde Valle Sanctuary as a prevention specialist counseling as an outreach to the Hispanic Community in 6 different schools of the are.
