About the Presenter: Dr. Vincenne Revilla-Beltran, Professor, Point Park University School of Education, is a Licensed Professional Counselor, and Board Certified Wellness Coach. Since childhood, she has enjoyed working with fibers and fabric and in recent years has enjoyed the creative and relaxing process of Meditative Hand-Stitching.
