Teacher and Anthropologist

I was born and raised in a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri, USA. I have my MSc in primatology, a subfield of anthropology, and have been working with students in higher education for the past 7 years. Yoga began a valuable part of my life 9 years ago, and it continues to be an awesome journey. I love people, critical thinking, and great discussions. Let's connect!
