She holds a B.A. and M.A. in Eastern and Western classics, philosophy, mathematics and science from St. John’s College (Annapolis and Santa Fe), and is a student of Ancient Greek and Sanskrit. Her first book, Making Magic: Weaving Together the Everyday and the Extraordinary is available from Sounds True Publishing and booksellers world wide.
