practice in 2004. Since 2004, she has studied with Trudy Goodman, Gil
Fronsdal, and with a variety of teachers through the Against the
Stream Meditation Society and Spirit Rock Meditation Center. Her
profession is public librarianship, a meaningful practice of service
and mindfulness which she is grateful for.

Currently, Eileen is one of the facilitators for the monthly
Meditation Coalition People of Color (POC) meditation group where she
leads guided meditations and group discussions. She also offers
teachings through InsightLA, the San Francisco Dharma Collective, and
the Boston Meditation Center. She has completed two 1-year long
