I’m a mother, a teacher, a mystic, and a dancer. At my core, I’m someone drawn to life’s big mysteries. Since I was young, I’ve had experiences that don’t fit within our current models of reality, and I believe others when they say they’ve encountered anomalous phenomenon too.

In my undergraduate studies, I approached cultural anthropology through an interdisciplinary lens, exploring women’s studies and religion with a particular focus on psychological and symbolic frameworks.

It was there that I experienced a profound ontological shock, the kind that unsettles your foundation and forces you to see the world differently. When I encountered the concept of the ancient goddess, it felt like uncovering a true mystery that had been hidden for centuries. I began to see how history had been rewritten, how vast and vital stories had been erased, and how those erasures continue to shape what we believe to be true.

It was not just an academic realization. It was personal, emotional, and deeply disorienting. I began to ask questions that shook me at my core: Why was this knowledge hidden? Who benefited from keeping it buried? What has been the impact on individuals and society of living without this information? Who might we be if we knew that an ancient goddess was replaced by a male god? How did that shift affect power structures, cultural values, and the control of gender?

This awakening sparked a lifelong search for what lies beneath the surface, for the truths that have been silenced, distorted, or forgotten. It taught me to question everything and to hold space for complexity, nuance, and mystery.

That’s why I teach. Also, because kids are just the best of human beings. I teach not just to share knowledge but to help young people navigate their own questions. I want them to trust their curiosity, ask beautiful questions, and feel comfortable and even inspired with the unknown.

Now, as we stand on the edge of a paradigm shift with Unidentified Anamolous Phenomena (UAPs), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the possibility of non-human intelligences (NHI) entering the conversation, I feel called and ready to help others navigate this change.

Truthfully, the kids are already really open; it is the adults I am worried about :)
