In celebration of International Women’s Day, here’s a little about me. 🪴

I have 2 university degrees: 1) B.A. in psychology, and 2) B. Ed. in elementary education. This didn’t come easy. I only passed two classes in high school and I didn’t know “how” to learn. More than that, I didn’t know “how I learn best.” At 23, after some fun jobs, I knew I was meant to do more. I went to college to upgrade to get into university to study psychology. I wanted to be a Child Psychologist. I faced my fear of math and went head first into learning how to learn, and the rest is history! 🪴

As my circus friends might remember (
@ericvonbraun ,
@areestrada ,
@kriziacarr ,
@earl.d.schmidt ,
@mitchrivera ,
@konstantinsandou ) , I was offered a year long contract with a circus to choreograph and perform in part of the show, to sing the National Anthem, and to tutor the children with their schoolwork. But, the universe had a change of plan for me: I got my first “A” in university!!! I couldn’t turn away from that as I’d worked so hard for it, so I stayed at school. A huge part of me missed the idea of training and traveling with the circus, as I’d done it for a little bit and made some wonderful lifelong friends. But on the other hand, I knew that staying in Uni was the right thing to do at that time. 🪴

I feel that the more we know ourselves, the easier it is to make tough decisions. It’s not just about making a strong cerebral decision; it’s about listening to how we feel deep inside about making that decision. So, it’s a good balance between the head and the heart. And today, I’m still in touch with those circus friends… and that makes me feel so happy!🪴
