Work HistoryI have focused on raising my children for the past 17+ years, helping them grow and develop while managing transitions that included living in multiple Asian countries and US states. While raising my children, I was part of a team working cross-culturally to start churches and disciple people in the Christian faith. While it is only recently that I have been working as a professional therapist, my education and training was put to good use raising my family and living and working overseas.
