I was born and raised in the mid-West and have moved around the United States (and a few months abroad during different transition points) for college, law school and careers. I have lived in Raleigh, North Carolina since 2006, where I practice employment law for a healthcare company and am raising two teenage daughters who are very active. Fitness has always been a part of my family's life. I have been a runner since high school and enjoy getting miles in with a local running club three or four times a week. My husband and I started doing triathlons in 2005. Our daughters are very active in soccer. We also love spending time outdoors - at the beach or mountains. I found yoga about a decade ago as a way to help with stretching and injury prevention and went through YTT 200 hour certification in 2021-2022. It was such a rewarding experience. I love sharing the gift of yoga with students at all levels and the serenity and calming effect of breathing with movement brings each time I roll out the mat.
