CURRENT MISSION

To expose myself to more parts of this crazy planet, specifically New Zealand and anything East of the US

ABOUT ME

To make this short, I am a proud Oregonian who feels fulfilled when outdoors or with animals, and especially when dancing. I recently got my degree in Los Angeles in Dance and Philosophy and have been following my dancing passion up and down the West Coast.

PHILOSOPHY

Wow....I live to love, and love to live so that I can say each day was something that made me more complete and full. Solidarity, self-assurance, community, and spiritual peace are very important to me and I find serving any community I am in and reading anything I can get my hands on only gets me deeper into life. never stop learning, never stop loving!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've stayed in the community of Franco Bido, Dominican Republic to learn about the inequalities of the current global economic system on coffee farming communities. Peeing in a ditch, catching chickens, getting ecoli, picking coffee beans, riding a donkey, and perfecting my spanish were among the few high points of my time there. Learn about fair trade and comsume with a conscience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a certified yoga and pilates instructor, and professional dancers. As a result I know a bunch about nutrition, mind-body connectivity, dance history, cultural dance styles, and movement therapy. I also work for a pet adoption clinic and I foster animals who are looking for homes and need a little training so I know how to keep a good pet in line! ( I also know how to love them to death!)
