Interned in a private practice, now work for the school district, mostly doing special ed assessment and consulting.

I believe that trainers should integrate knowledge from various scientific fields (medicine, economics, social cognition) and modern educational practice--not just martial arts. Live near Vancouver, BC, have traveled throughout North America, Europe, Asia, mostly for academic conferences, humanitarian aid, and clinical teaching.
