About Me

I love life, or rather I am life, and I love me. I see the world as my reflection, sometimes obvious and sometimes subtle. Because of this I’m always working to purify myself, through meditation, yoga, emotional mastery, energy movement, and intuition. As I change, I see myself reflected more beautifully and harmoniously in the world around. I practice the changes I wish to see. I have found that inspired action leads me through a spontaneous, adventure-filled, magical life journey.

I value the practicing and mastering of one’s craft. I value hard work and attention to detail. I value beauty in aesthetics, style, and outlook. I value community and connection. I value presence and in the moment living.

I have a very broad skill set and many talents. I’m adaptable, broad-minded, yet detail-oriented, and a quick thinker.

I love to experiment artistically in many different ways in various mediums like food, music, drawing... I love to camp and hike. I love to travel and experience different cultures and flavors of life.

I was a high-caliber, competitive volleyball player for nearly twenty years. I competed at the state and national level. I have retired from the sport for now to give my body time to heal and balance.
Both of my parents were state champion athletes, and successful coaches. They were my coaches many times throughout my volleyball career.
During high school and college I volunteered multiple times as an assistant coach for younger players. I still help out Kent State University’s volleyball club sometimes when I am in Ohio.

I am passionate about the phenomenon that is meditation, or absolute presence in the now. It is my presence in the now that gives me my quickness, adaptability, insight, and intuition. I teach about meditation, and I also teach a Hybrid Kriya Yoga technique that I have refined over the last several years or practice.

I practice unconditional love, acceptance, and forgiveness. I practice sustainability and waste minimization. I reuse, recycle, and reinvent. I practice beauty and peace.

I get along well with nearly everyone I meet. I love to be friendly and smile genuinely. I love to meet and interact with new people. I value honesty and open communication.
