“A Zen master was once asked,
‘What is the secret of your
happiness?’
He answered,
“Complete, unrestricted
co-operation with the unavoidable.’
The unavoidable is our life."

I recently completed my MA in Mindfulness Studies at Lesley University. With a foundation in Buddhist philosophy, the theories of engaged Buddhism, and an understanding of the landscape of contemplative practices from centuries past until today, I hope to become an advocate and educator on the benefits of mindfulness, contemplative inquiry, and meditative practices.
My creative thesis is entitled “A Thought is Just A Thought: A Buddhist Guide to OCD.” It is available for download
I was a participant in the 2021-2022 Inward Bound Mindfulness Education Teacher Training Program, learning best practices and practicing teaching mindfulness and meditation to youth.
On my Medium page I have created “The Dharma of…” series, combining my love of Buddhist wisdom and pop culture.
Some personal favourites include “The Dharma of Dirty Dancing” and “The Dharma of the Bachelor”.
