About Me

I am a passionate advocate for living a healthy lifestyle, combining my love for writing and wellness to inspire others on their journey. As the author of Rethinking Alcohol through the Eight Limbs of Yoga (2023), I explore the intersection of mindful living and reducing alcohol harm. My work is featured in publications like Low No Drinker Magazine, Zero Proof Nation, Alcohol Change UK, and the Center for Nutrition Studies. In addition to writing, I am an E-RYT 200/RYT-500 Yoga Alliance certified instructor, dedicated to teaching and sharing the holistic benefits of yoga.

Before transitioning to a career in writing and wellness, I spent over two decades as a teacher, instructional designer, and facilitator, specializing in K12, higher education, and adult learning. I have co-authored six books on instructional strategies, including Instructional Models: How to Choose One, How to Use One (2019), The 12 Touchstones of Good Teaching (2013), and Classroom Instruction that Works, 2nd ed. (2012).

My academic background includes a BSEd in Education and an MA in Information & Learning Technologies.
