About Me & Contact

I earned my 200-hour yoga teacher training certificate in 2014 and have been teaching ever since – in public venues like studios and gyms, but also non-profit settings such as residential homeless shelters and Cook County Jail. I developed and facilitated my own trauma informed yoga workshop for yoga instructors, and after gaining my 500-hour yoga training, I finally joined a 200-hour teacher training team.

My life and work have taken me in diverse directions, from teaching English abroad in Bosnia, Slovakia, and Hungary, to volunteering with dogs, and of course teaching yoga. I couldn’t be happier to be exactly where I am right now.
