My curiosity and creative energy guide my continuous desire to learn. Upon completing my studies in Wildlife Biology at Humboldt State University, I discovered my love for educating the public and went on to develop and implement environmental education and interpretive programs for East Bay Regional Park District, Oakland Museum and YMCA in California and Hawaii. In my varied education endeavors, I noticed the importance of physical activity and body awareness as a vehicle for learning and well-being in my students. Inspired by this realization, I subsequently studied a variety of movement forms, including poi, trapeze, silks, contact improvisation, and even became certified as a hula hoop dance instructor, teaching hoop dance as a means to greater body intelligence and self-confidence. Currently I am in the process of attaining my Yoga instructor’s training. My rich and varied experiences have instilled in me a curiosity about life and the ability to offer this gift to others.
