My assignments have taken me on a variety of adventures — touring an olive tree farm, trekking the Weminuche Wilderness in search of natural hot springs, and off to India to learn about Ayurvedic medicine. But it’s the people I’ve met along the way who truly inspire me and bring the stories to life. Here is a handful of selected works.
