About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Embracing my curiosity and learning as much as possible at all times. While dancing and laughing.

ABOUT ME

I am an extremely happy person because I am always holding an excited curiosity about the present moment and all of life's experiences. I love being around people, listening, and learning from others. I have been studying human development and individual development my whole life and love to learn more. I am currently enjoying living in many different places as I work from my computer and am able to travel. I recently lived in Sweden for 9 months and am having a lovely time traveling for a few months before I begin applying to psychology Ph.D programs in the fall. I love to play music, writing songs on the ukulele and guitar and playing violin and singing with as many other musicians as possible. I have been practicing yoga since I was 10 years old thanks to my awesome hippie mama and continue to practice daily. I am completely in love with nature, and I love to be in the sunshine!

PHILOSOPHY

"The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.”

Don Williams, Jr.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am awestruck every day by small and big things, anything from seeing an old tree to walking my dog and noticing my cat following us all the way down to the park.

I have been awestruck by amazing friendships, new and old.

I am always awestruck by love.

I can teach violin, voice, ukulele, guitar, piano. I can also discuss life philosophy and purpose with anyone who wants to dive into the big things. I can also teach you yoga and a few polka moves! :)
