Born on the East Coast, Doreen was curious about other religions and beliefs at any early age. After receiving her college education in Business Administration and Early Childhood Education, she continued her studies and training in holistic and contemplative education and continued with related courses for deeper understanding. Early in her adult life, a dear friend suggested a book to her and this book opened up the gates to the Ageless Wisdom, to WMEA, and the Agni Yoga Teachings. Doreen has traveled from coast to coast in the United States and parts of Europe and Eastern Asia. Many foreign places and people felt so familiar. The gifts of travel deepened her understanding of culture, history, and the quality and importance of education and spiritual studies.

She is a member of WMEA and volunteers in different capacities. Group work provides an opportunity for cooperation in group labor. She assisted in translating The High Path under the leadership of her dedicated coworkers. The Teachings inspires her heart to strive and live the principles of living ethics, in group life, family life, and the greater community.
