BA (sec. ed; fine arts; Spanish) / M.A. (TESL) / CIDTT (Cambridge, UK International Diploma for Teachers and Trainers) On a practical level Ariel Brooks (teacher / author / artist / lecturer / entrepreneur) believes in the importance of living in harmony with nature in a healthy and sustainable manner. Professionally, she's taught in public schools and universities around the world and uses her expertise in theatre, art and puppetry not only for community service but also to empower, educate and entertain children in general and children at risk specifically. Spiritually, Ms. Brooks believes humans are here to make earth a better place for everyone through collaboration with each other as well as nurturing and protecting the children who hold the key to the future. She believes crimes like child sex abuse cannot go unchecked and unseen. Perpetrators must be publicly exposed and held accountable for the damage they've caused and if they cannot be redeemed, they must be kept away from children at all costs. Awareness of what propagates this crime is urgent for victims, caregivers and the general public because healing and eradicating crime is a pre-requisite for creating a new earth. It is her aim to generate such awareness in every way possible and with any luck, she believes perpetrators could eventually be redeemed.
