I have taught in elementary and high school for over 20 years and am now building my side hustle into a second career: health and wellness coaching. I practice yoga, eat 90% plant based, and love hiking in the mountains and walking on the beach. I'm divorced, with two children in college. My ideal day would be a morning hike or yoga class, an afternoon exploring a new city, and an evening listening to live music in a coffee shop with friends.

I enjoy a conversation or visit with hosts; I can also be quiet and self-sufficient when hosts are occupied.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I volunteer with World Relief as a tutor, preparing clients who want to become U.S. citizens for their Naturalization interview and test. When in-person classes shut down in 2020 due to COVID, I worked with our volunteer team to develop an online tutoring class to continue to support our clients.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a simple yoga sequence, unless you already know, in which case we can practice together, or I can learn from you! I am also learning Spanish and enjoy practicing conversations.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a yoga practice, a laugh, a good conversation, and always a cup of tea or coffee.
