“I am a former attorney and current Physical Education teacher and Women’s Varsity Soccer Coach at Monte Vista High School in Danville, California. Currently I am in my 17th year teaching and coaching at Monte Vista, and have coached club soccer in the area for the past 17 years as well. I am also a CrossFit L-2 Trainer, CF Movement and Mobility Specialist and strength and conditioning coach. I have trained boxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for the last decade and teach classes at Danville Jiu Jitsu as well.
Throughout my career I’ve been fascinated with the philosophy of movement patterns. Specifically, I have practiced and integrated the work of Ido Portal, Erwan LeCorre, Kelly Starrett, Gray Cook, and Stuart McGill among others. As a teacher and coach my goal has been to develop content focused on restoring primal patterns and improving movement quality in both athletes and non-athletes in our community.”
