Hello everyone! I’m back from an incredible adventure—traveling cross-country and living in my custom home-built van.
I’m beyond excited to reconnect with all of my friends and family after six months of exploring new places and dipping my toes in the sand from coast to coast.
This experience has taught me so much about who I am and who I aspire to be. It has deeply strengthened my passion for facilitating the practice of yoga and supporting students in their journey of self-exploration and growth at the Core Yoga Studio.
Hope to see you soon!

She thrives on human connection, embraces creativity, and draws inspiration from the beauty of nature and travel.
