I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago where I ran a babysitting business with my little sister and best friend all through high-school. When I turned 18 I attended an alternative-education travel program called LEAPNOW through Antioch University. I spent a semester studying in India and then a semester working on a marketing team for a hostel in Melbourne, Australia. Traveling is a huge passion of mine, I love exploring new places, and going on outdoor adventures like hiking, mountain climbing, and scuba-diving.

After college I got my 200-hour yoga teacher certification and worked teaching yoga and sculpt classes through CorePower yoga in the Chicago suburbs. I’ve lived in Boulder Co, teaching kindergarten and nannying, Williamsburg, VA working as a homeschool teacher, and Jacksonville, Florida working with a new mom and her newborn.

I recently moved to back to Colorado with my trained therapy dog Sunday Seven. She has enjoyed coming to work with me, she loves listening to books read by new readers, providing emotional support while little ones are feeling big feelings, and assisting winding down for nap time. We love to lay in the sun and camp together on the weekends and get into all kinds of outdoor adventures.
