Biography
My orientation toward facilitating a heightened awareness and application of social responsibility and social justice through professional practice is deeply rooted in the stirrings of the soul, of one's conscious awareness of our social connections, mutual responsibilities, and promotion of social interest. Giving is good for the soul. This philosophy or way of being impacts every aspect of my professional work: from my approach to educating and mentoring, to clinical work, to the types of community based participatory research and scholarship choices I've made, and finally to my leadership style including the many roles I have held as a military officer/commander and now military retiree.
