I am happy to join the current CHT cohort at HCI as I enter the Interreligious Chaplaincy Program at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, CA. As an administrative, customer service, communications, and marketing professional, when Yoga found me over 17 years ago, I knew within days that I would do it for the rest of my life. My sadhana in the Iyengar lineage and in-depth studies of the sacred texts began in earnest, and eventually, and quite naturally, my worldview became that of classical Yoga and the larger Hindu tradition. I plan to serve the spiritual needs of the Hindu and Yoga communities with my skills as a chaplain. The knowledge that has come from India, when applied, is transformational and meant to aid all aspects of life.

I hold a liberal arts Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I’m from.
