I’ve been teaching yoga since 2011 and since 2016 I have had the privilege of working with youth in the Miami Dade County Public Schools system. As a result of my work in the community, I serve as an ambassador for Lululemon and Raw Juce. I have worked with a wide range of professionals that span from the 2018 Miami Dolphins Rookie Class to Channel 7 News employees. These experiences have helped me lead people from all walks of life.

I’ve been an educator since 2009, having worked for a variety of programs and institutions across the country. In 2015, I became a high school science teacher and in 2018 was awarded the Rising Star Award for Sustainability from the City of Coral Gables due to my efforts in environmental education. I’ve been teaching yoga since 2013, working not only in yoga studios and schools, but also in rehabilitation centers, prisons, and juvenile detention centers.
