About Me
Thriver, and award-winning artist and writer

Denise is a certified meditation facilitator and contemplative arts teacher. She is an information technology (IT) professional working for a large urban school district. Denise holds a B.A. in chemistry, an M.S. in computer science, and a Ph.D. in developmental neuroscience.
And she is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse.
