I am a senior here at Montclair. My time spent on campus is divided between classes as a Family and Child Studies Major, working at the Children's Center, and teaching Yoga for Group X at the Student Rec Center! Originally from the Jersey shore, I bring my many years of dance and yoga experience to my classes. I get the most satisfaction when I see new faces at my classes or when a student comes off the mat feeling totally refreshed and open for the rest of their day. I also hope to become Yoga Therapy Certified in the near future.
