Based in California’s sunny San Gabriel Valley, I am mom to four growing kids and a pet parent to three bunnies and a forever pup and a coffee-fueled educator with a passion for teaching and social-emotional wellness. I love to travel and explore, especially the great outdoors. Life is an adventure meant to be shared. Happy trails!
