CURRENT MISSION

Living Mindfully

ABOUT ME

I was born in a small town in Michigan and moved to Chicago for university (Depaul). I recently graduated with a degree in Human Developmental Psychology and Public Relations. I also received my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification. I am currently in Colombia (Medellín) learning Spanish, exploring the city and teaching English.

I keep myself busy with yoga, concerts, exploring (especially art museums, free stuff), photography, crafting, travel, book clubs, and attempting to cook.

PHILOSOPHY

"Life has been some combination of fairy-tale coincidence and joie de vivre and shocks of beauty together with some hurtful self-questioning."
-Sylvia Plath

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ask me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you as much yoga as I know, English, vegetarian cooking, how to knit, and how to get lost (my sense of direction is laughable).

Currently, I want to learn Spanish & how to meditate successfully.
