Who Am I?
I'm a Los Angeles based writer, passionate about living a joyful life with chronic illness. I've lived a rich and full life in my 32 years on this magical place called Earth. I draw on lived and learned experience healing emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually from a variety of things.
I spent my 20s in education teaching and counseling kiddos from the age of two to eighteen. I went through 200-hour yoga trainings, certifications for children and family yoga, yoga on the autism spectrum, yoga therapy, and taught yoga privately all over Los Angeles to families and children with special needs.
While getting my M.A. in Clinical Psychology from 2014-2016, I began my career writing and fully transitioned to a career in copywriting and social media in 2016. I started by helping launch the digital presence of a wellness startup in Venice, California. I spent the last two years working in house for Ergobaby, a beloved baby brand. In 2018, I was the proud author of of a column for HealthyPlace.com, the largest consumer driven psychology website on the Internet.
In 2019, I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease following a tick bite from one of my many outdoor adventures. While happily on the mend, this illness presently shapes much of my writing and creative work.
In my free time, you can find me meditating, resting in my hammock, writing poetry, singing, learning to play the guitar, or laughing with my friends.
