She is a professor within the transformative studies doctoral program at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) and also guest teaches for Naropa University, Pacifica Graduate Institute, and Prescott College.

She is both editor and a contributor to the books Ecological and Social Healing: Multicultural Women’s Voices and Globalism and Localization: Emergent Approaches to Ecological and Social Crises.
