As a writer, filmmaker, and mindfulness advocate, I develop initiatives and programs anywhere in the world that advance peace, increase health, improve education, and enable social justice. Currently, I am CEO and co-founder of the educational media company, Immediacy, and digital editor of Kosmos Journal.

My career began as a photojournalist and freelance producer for CNN, MTV, and PBS, while spending seven years immersed in the musical traditions of New Orleans as an ethnographer, writer, and manager of the renowned music venue, Tipitina’s. Various interests then led me to work on a riverboat, study tigers, represent New Orleans as a student ambassador to Austria, crack the etymology of the street name Tchoupitoulas, and achieve Press Club recognition for work about the desegregation of Louisiana.

As co-founder and CEO of Immediacy, (formerly Fabian Baber Inc.), leading creators of educational media for 30 years, I've garnered numerous awards as an instructional designer, writer and director of more than 1000 educational programs for learners age 5 to adult. Our company impacted the evolution of educational media in US schools during the 1990s. Our teams have reached 10 million learners of all ages, in classrooms and on the job worldwide.

I continue to lead my company and am also the digital editor of Kosmos, a journal for global transformation and an official NGO Representative to the United Nations for Kosmos Associates. I am an ordained student in the Order of Interbeing, an international Buddhist order founded by my teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh.

My undergraduate BA is in Anthropology from the University of New Orleans, and I completed my Masters studies at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. I'm a Court-certified Special Advocate for abused and neglected children (CASA).

Professional interests include emerging models in higher education, as well as intentional community and local economy. Deeply engaged as a community volunteer, I also love to cook, hike, and spend quiet time in the woods of Rose Valley, PA where I live and work.
