“I still get confused when people ask me about home. Raised in Australia, Bangladesh, the States, and Zimbabwe, I have also lived in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Croatia. I am currently living in Laos…”
**
The journey to Laos began with writing letters to someone in Papua New Guinea, and that is such a great story that I wrote a memoir about it (Learn more about Love At The Speed Of Email).
In Australia, I worked as a forensic psychologist with the state police, in a maximum-security men’s prison, and on a child death review team.
In Croatia, I worked with a development organization as a stress management trainer.
In Indiana, I earned a masters degree in International Peace Studies at Notre Dame University.
In Los Angeles, I directed the Headington Institute’s training and education programs, providing psychological support services to humanitarian workers around the world.
In Laos, while my husband is hard at work for a humanitarian organization, I lie in a hammock by the Mekong River and drink mango smoothies.
(At least, that is what I sometimes fantasize about when I’m busy looking preventing my baby from drinking out of the dog’s water bowl, working as a consultant, or writing my next book.)
If you’re looking for books, check out my latest, Love At The Speed Of Email – a book that fellow authors have praised as “a modern-day fairytale” and a “travel memoir with a deep soul”.
If you’re looking for information on humanitarian work and psychology, check out my collection of links to resources on stress, trauma and resilience.
