I am a passionate advocate for living a plant-based, alcohol-free 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 sobriety. 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 a 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 years as an instructional designer and facilitator, specializing in K12, higher education, and adult learning. I co-edited Thriving as a Woman in Leadership in Higher Ed(2021) and 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, which have laid the foundation for my work in both education and personal wellness.
