I am a yoga teacher who learns from my students every day, a product developer who is equally inspired by new technology and ancient wisdom, and a writer who believes that creativity and determination are the most powerful duo on Earth.

My writing focuses on curating a creative and original life, drawing inspiration from a variety of topics including the arts, books, travel, new technology, business, and New York City, a wondrous and turbulent place I’m proud to call home.

In 2010, I founded Compass Yoga, a group and private yoga instruction business that donates 20% of all class fees to a nonprofit of the student’s choice, giving the student the tax deduction. My main passion involves helping students to enhance their creativity and imagination through yoga and meditation.

My career has involved working on the Hill for a Congressman, managing Broadway shows and national tours, fundraising for nonprofits, and innovation work at several large Fortune 500 companies. In every experience, I have used my sense of and respect for elegant design to develop meaningful products, services, and events.

A recovering multi-tasker, I am a proud alum of UPenn (BA) and the Darden School at UVA (MBA). When not in front of my Mac, I’m on my yoga mat, walking my dog, traveling with a purpose, or practicing the high-art of people watching.
