More about Rhonda: I was born in Brooklyn and raised, along with one older brother, in the Capitol Region of New York State. I’ve also lived in Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, Vermont and Connecticut. I started college as a psychology major, but my childhood love of the natural world drew me to pursue a Bachelors degree in Earth Sciences, followed by a Master of Science in Geology. After leaving my corporate geologist career to focus on raising my children, I took on a spectrum of part time occupations including local newspaper journalist and non profit office manager. A second career in ministry brought me back full circle to my initial call to counseling, but this time in the form of pastoral care and spiritual entrepreneurship. My deep reverence for the world and all of its inhabitants continues to inform everything I do.
