Growing up in California, some of my earliest memories include tagging along to yoga with mom. As I grew, I saw yoga going beyond movement. I see it as a way to move through the world with (hopefully) more intention and connection to people and places.

I joined the work-study team at JP Centre Yoga in 2024 after moving back East from what I like to call, a five-year West Coast vacation. JPCY was such a welcoming place to land and become acclimated with Boston, again.

JPCY’s mission to make yoga more accessible for more people is one I share and get to work toward now as Assistant Studio Manager.

When I’m not on the studio couch… or my yoga mat, I'm over at Tufts working on my master's in urban planning. For the past decade I’ve sat at the intersection of storytelling and complexity, translating policy and research into ideas the public can actually understand and act on. I care deeply about designing smarter, more sustainable cities, policies, and products for people.

Outside work, you can find me strolling around JP Pond with my quirky pup named Sunny, hunting down a half-decent burrito in Boston, and telling anyone who'll listen about my latest entrepreneurial adventure, a sweet-meets-heat, 90s nostalgia hot sauce brand called Spice Boys!
