I am deeply committed to Vipasana and the dharma for about 4 years. As a single mama of three teenagers, they are daily reminders of why this practice is so precious to me.

I am deeply grateful for the golden opportunity to sit retreats twice a year. These experiences have supported my understandings and insights immensely. Retreats allow me to take note of the simplest things that bring joy. I am at home in nature.

My passions have always moved me in the direction of being of service, whether rescuing dogs or working as a case coordinator in social services.  As a new Big Bear Retreat Manager, I love being on the other side of the retreat, and supporting fellow practitioners on their path. I am a lover of anything outdoors, dancing and live music, and dogs.
