CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world and experience as many sights, sounds, and tastes possible! I hope to practice yoga on every continent.

ABOUT ME

I am a special-needs middle school teacher in East San Jose. I am currently pursuing yoga teacher certification, and I hope to introduce yoga as therapy to children in stressful situations, as I have encountered through my job. My husband and I are a young couple hoping to see the world a bit more before we have children.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is my school- I want to learn and experience as much as possible!
