I am fortunate to have found my passion in teaching at a very young age. I have spent the past thirteen years teaching a wide variety of subjects.   I have build a career in teaching that began with participating    in and teaching, children's theatre productions, culinary arts, movement and fine arts. I am also nationally certified to teach yoga and do so for children and adults, something I deeply love.  

These days my main focus is in teaching culinary arts, Vinyasa yoga and movement along with fine arts. It is my whole hearted view that we have a responsibility to teach our youth the value of learning, giving, striving toward reaching their full potential and to be open minded about all that they have to offer the world.   I am excited each day about the possibilities!
