CURRENT MISSION

travel, live and enjoy life!

ABOUT ME

I live in the snow capital of Alaska, Valdez. I teach 2nd grade at the elementary school and yoga at the health and fitness center. When it snows I am most likely to be found with skis strapped to my feet, whether skinny skis or powder skis. A four-legged friend is usually nearby. I have spent the last 3 years volunteering for a Dalai Lama funded medical clinic in remote northwest India. I love to share my experiences working with this amazing group of humans.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent the last three summers volunteering to start up a clinic funded by the Dalai Lama in the remote NW corner of India in the Himalayans. He came to bless the clinic our second year there.
