I am from San Diego, California, and I am a senior at Duke, a Biological Anthropology and Anatomy major and a Chemistry minor - studying to become a doctor. After I finish my undergraduate studies, I will take a year off before medical school. I have been a member of the Duke Varsity swim team for my four years at Duke and have been a competitive swimmer for all of my life.

I began practicing yoga in 2006 following a severe and lengthy illness. I was immediately drawn to the combined benefits of the physical, psychological and spiritual aspects of yoga practice. Physically, yoga reintroduced my body to movement and allowed me to gain back my strength and flexibility. Yoga has had a profound effect on my body and my mind and I am eternally grateful for my practice.
