I have master’s degrees in Professional Counseling and Educational Leadership and over 25 years educational experience as teacher, school counselor, and principal, including the K-12 American school in Kabul, Afghanistan. I place international students with Christian host families in the MidWest. As a writer, speaker, counselor and life coach, I believe there is support and encouragement in God’s Word to help us all Learn to Live Well.
