“I showed up at Monroe in 2009 after reading ‘The Journey of Robert Monroe: From Out-of-Body Explorer to Consciousness Pioneer’ by Ronald Russell. Before attending, I ordered the at-home Gateway Experience series. Before finishing the Wave exercises, I knew it was important to get there ... no matter what!

That same year, I was asked to lead the Local Chapter Network, now Monroe's Community Groups, development efforts. In 2010, I signed up to be an Outreach Trainer and by the following year, I became a Residential Outreach Trainer, training others to do the same. I did this for three years and, also, trained to be a Gateway Voyage Trainer during that time.

Whether I am serving in my roles at the Monroe Institute or playing other roles in my life, I am usually doing something to get the word out about the sound technology and its benefits and practical applications. I love the work and training.  We have so much fun!"
