photography, yoga, cooking.

I am passionate in expressing beauty around me through photography. I have been taking pictures as a hobby my whole life and I believe everyone needs a healthy outlet to express themselves. 

My other forms of expression include COOKING. As strange as it could sound, I enjoy the simple pleasures of grocery shopping with a conscious mindset of health and wellness. I have a natural interest in cooking my own food because I believe in the power of food healing us and nurturing our bodies. I am constantly taking trips to the grocery store and have gained a lot of knowledge on food and produce since changing my diet and converting vegetarian 5 years ago, and vegan 3 years ago. Food is a huge factor in my life. 

Another form of hobby I  love is Yoga. This practice has helped my body and mind heal from internal and external pain and has helped me become more grounded, patient, and mindful. I would love to expand my knowledge in yoga and I plan to start teacher training next January. 

My main interest revolves in health and wellness and I would love to continue my education learning how to become better versions of ourselves.
