I grew up in Southern California and came to the Bay Area in 2010 as a returning citizen. I am a thankful community teacher and student. I humbly learn each and every day from others. Hopefully, I thoughtfully share life lessons with others on this journey of mine. A passion of mine is when I am able to co-create with others, especially healing spaces. Spaces where we can collectively reveal our truest self and navigate the intersection of personal healing and collective healing through restorative practices.
