CURRENT MISSION
UPDATE: I am now a yoga teacher! I focus my efforts on karma yoga + donation-based opportunities. I've also started my own creative services company with my best friend in 2018 and it is taking off. So excited for 2019 and all the beautiful things it has to bring.

2017 - I took a sabbatical from my job in advertising / marketing and committed to yoga teacher training in SE Asia (Koh Phangan, Thailand). That summer my best friend and I explored SE Asia post certification. Nothing short of magical.

ABOUT ME
So much change in the last few years which has taught me an insane amount about the kind of life I want to live. Long story short with lots of twists and turns alog the way - I'm trying to have it all. Big love, adorable dog, the travel, endless adventure, rewarding career: a jump out of bed in the morning kind of life.

Oh - I'm half Mexican + half German and my parents are insane, but in the best way ever... their love story lives on in me and my brother.
