I studied history with an emphasis in art history as an undergraduate at the University of California, Santa Barbara. In order to further my undestanding of world history, studied abroad in both London and Paris, travelling extensively through Europe to see historical sites personally. My love of history and geo-political issues led me to recieve a doctorate in law. Additionally, I have increased my learning of the power of art for both memory and healing by earning a certificate in therepeudic art .
