After being hired as a manager at Inner Fire Yoga in October 2007, I helped the transition from a modest, one-room, carpeted hot yoga studio into a thriving community with multiple locations. During this time, I added classes to the schedule, hired and trained teachers and staff, organized events, and supported visiting teachers. It was a renaissance time for Inner Fire Yoga and yoga in general, and I am honored to have been a part of it.

My journey leading up to this position was diverse and enriching. Initially, I pursued art, immersing myself in creativity as an art student. Later, I ventured into education, sharing my love for art by teaching high school students in Chicago. Subsequently, upon moving to Wisconsin, I became a case manager, supporting and caring for adults with developmental disabilities.  Oh, and I also painted houses!

These seemingly disparate experiences culminated in my current role at Inner Fire Yoga, where I have many outlets for my creativity (like all the graphics and web design for both studios), my love of serving and helping others, and ensuring the hot yoga studios stay hot and well maintained.
