CURRENT MISSION

To connect people more to who they really are, and to others of like-minds.

ABOUT ME

I am a recent graduate of chiropractic school and just took a trip around the world. This was a graduation present to myself!

I grew up on a farm in rural Oregon. I have a Brazilian mother and an American father.

After graduating high school I had the amazing opportunity to live in Brazil for 7 and a half years.

I love to travel, learn, read, dance, laugh, love and connect to new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Live, laugh, love
