About

I am a passionate learner who believes I it is my purpose to not only heal others but to help them heal themselves. I attended the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth for 2 years, then transferred to University of Connecticut. Uconn was a challenging experience for me mentally, emotionally, and physically but I couldn't be more proud to be completing my undergraduate studies here. I challenged myself and learned so much in the process. Throughout the past few years I've undergone a spiritual transformation as well, changing my original intention on pursuing medical school to a more holistic approach.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I intend on being used as a healer. I have a calling towards the holistic (vs. modern) medicines and practices. I believe that modern day medicines have a tendency of treating symptoms and not causes of illness. I also firmly believe that all forms of disease is the result of dis-ease manifested into the body after long term neglect of self and emotional history.
I intend being licensed in reiki and yoga and participating in a healing center.

Outside the classroom

Singing, dancing, hulahooping, blending perfumes, reading, hiking, fishing, traveling, drawing, painting, and cooking.
