One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Half marathon on Mount Bromo in Indonesia was pretty awesome - hands down the most challenging half on the planet!

Teach, Learn, Share

Fitness! I love fitness, and am especially versed in Pilates. Yoga is a strength as well. I know a lot about Indonesia as I lived there for a couple years and how to get around using public transportation in Indonesia.
I am also an emerging maternal and child health professional so I have a lot of knowledge about preventive health measures for mothers and babies. They make the world go 'round!
