I an elementary school teacher in Western Massachusetts who loves meeting new people and learning about different people's perspectives. This year, I am taking a year off from teaching to do some exploring and soul searching. My family, friends, and community are important to me and I love expanding my circle when I am in a new place. I also love outdoor adventures, like hiking, biking, and kayaking. I traveled to Spain in the fall of 2022 and hiked the Camino de Santiago. I also volunteered in Jerusalem to learn more about the history in Israel and Palestine. Now, I’m on my way to northern India where I’ll be apart of a yoga teacher training!
