CURRENT MISSION Living Mindfully ABOUT ME I was born in a small town in Michigan and moved to Chicago for university (Depaul). I recently graduated with a degree in Human Developmental Psychology and Public Relations. I also received my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification. I am currently in Colombia (Medellín) learning Spanish, exploring the city and teaching English. I keep myself busy with yoga, concerts, exploring (especially art museums, free stuff), photography, crafting, travel, book clubs, and attempting to cook. PHILOSOPHY "Life has been some combination of fairy-tale coincidence and joie de vivre and shocks of beauty together with some hurtful self-questioning." -Sylvia Plath

One Amazing Thing I've Done

Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you as much yoga as I know, English, vegetarian cooking, how to knit, and how to get lost (my sense of direction is laughable). Currently, I want to learn Spanish & how to meditate successfully.
