Career: After training in family and community medicine, I was led to pursue additional training as a Jungian psychotherapist and spiritual director. Today I teach UCSF medical students and practice as an integrative medical consultant, providing Reiki touch therapy and clinical guided imagery to patients at St. Luke's Hospital in San Francisco.
"My time as a Vassar student instilled in me the confidence to follow my own creative vision and equipped me with the rich and broad liberal arts education necessary to effectively cross over varied disciplines. That is why I have named the College in my will, so that others may continue to be inspired to follow their unique dreams and by so doing make a difference for others."
