Originally a ballet dancer, I studied ballet year-round at The Rock School for Dance Education, Miami City Ballet School, and The School of Pennsylvania Ballet. I attended summer intensives with scholarships and trainee positions at The School of American BalletThe Bolshoi Ballet, Chautauqua School of DanceOrlando Ballet, and Carolina Ballet.

In 2011, I took up a daily vinyasa yoga practice while looking for cross-training. It didn't take long for me to discover that there was more to yoga than just physical benefits. In 2016, after leaving a ballet career, I completed Dhyana Yoga’s Teacher Training Program, joining Yoga Alliance as a 200-RYT. Shortly after, I began teaching at Shanti Yoga and Ayurveda as a vinyasa and beginner yoga instructor. Along with private lessons, I’ve also lead classes at Studio 1831, Top Fitness Philadelphia, The School of Pennsylvania Ballet, and Sweat Fitness. Over the summer of 2017, I had an opportunity to teach yoga classes in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua at the Casa Oro Eco Hostel. In October 2017, I joined Philly Power Yoga as a power yoga instructor.

Using my teacher training's strong ashtanga base, as well as my  ballet background, I create dance-like sequences that challenge the physical body and connect mediation with movement. Mentally, I concentrate on building empowerment within my students, as well as finding ways to relieve stress built up from everyday life. My goal is to bring out the confidence and peace-of-mind that yoga has given me to others, while challenging the physical body to explore its possibilities.
