I currently serve as a UC Martial Arts Medical Co-Chair with Dr. Frank Choy where we facilitate physicians and health staff to provide medical aid for Cal's martial arts tournaments.

I am certified as an acupressurist from the Acupressure Institute in Berkeley. Lately studying Ayurveda and Tibetan Medicine has complemented my studies of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Taoism. In my former life, I served as the Emergency Services Coordinator for the USCA where we provided training in First Aid/CPR, earthquake safety and self defense. I used to work with St. John's Ambulance Service in Wales as a paramedic. Before that, in military search and rescue, we dealt with a variety of ailments particular to a tropical climate primarily. In my youth, I acted as a first responder and was first on the scene in numerous emergency situations. I received extensive triage training and volunteered in hospitals frequently.

Previously, I spent time as a counselor and a mentor dealing with a wide variety of problems on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. My earliest experiences in health care came in the form of volunteering at a hospice when I was a child where we visited with many terminally ill patients providing support and comfort to them. I grew up in Ojibway territory and spent summers in Pomo and Hopi country. I speak some Mandarin, Japanese, and Spanish. I received a Bachelor of Arts from Berkeley in Interdisciplinary Studies.
