I enjoy writing reviews on everything from books to businesses to meeting places.  These are some highlights of my reviews.

Book Reviews

  • In June 2013, I traveled to London to study abroad for three weeks.  My focus was on Document Design and Multicultural Literature.  Upon my return, I reviewed one of the books I had read.  It was a play called The Holy Rosenbergs.  You can read my review on Amazon here.
  • In February 2017, I reviewed Reclaiming Our Democracy, by Sam Daley-Harris. You can read my review on Amazon here. A very powerful call to action and story about his creating really powerful advocacy organizations focused on poverty and climate change.
