Hobbies
I am a yoga, theatre, and literature enthusiast. I completed a 200 Registered Yoga Alliance teacher training several years ago and have completed various other trainings and taught off an on. I try to see live theatre as often as I can and always have a book in reaching distance. I am also passionate about current events, the environment, and humanitarian issues. I have volunteered offering support for new immigrants. More recently, I have gained experience working in politics and advocating for constituents. I also have two wonderful children and a husband. I believe education is for everyone and that everyone is skilled. I like to spark passion in students by offering flexible, dynamic, and unintimidating learning sessions. My goal is to not only aid my students' understanding of subjects, but also their enjoyment of them.
