Xenia is a licensed clinical social worker who works and teaches at Syracuse Univsersity School of Social Work. She has been involved in experiential education since 2001 and brings those principles to life in her practice, the classroom and in the course. Her adventurous spirit and deep appreciation of the learning process are common threads in both her personal and professional life. She learned long ago that "experience proceeds concept" before she even knew that those words were part of the incredible world of adventure. She finds joy in things coming full circle.
