I am a teacher at West Middle School with certifications in Elementary Education, Spanish, Mathematics, and Reading. I have been working in public education since 1996.

I have been practicing mindfulness formally since 2008 and I have personally benefited from the results of having a daily practice.

I am a certified Mindful Schools Instructor and have been teaching mindfulness to students since 2015. I have taken many courses, and attended workshops in mindfulness, mindful communication, trauma informed care, and difficult emotions. I am a Certified Mindfulness Teacher through Sounds True and the Greater Good Science Center and the International Mindfulness Teachers Association.

Mindfulness is a passion of mine and I have a strong desire to bring it to anyone who is open to learning about it.
