I am a lifelong learner with a passionate curiosity for Pilates. In 2016, I completed Lolita San Miguel’s 500-hour Lolita's Legacy Teacher Training program under the guidance of Jennie Groom, Second Generation Pilates Teacher and Lolita San Miguel Pilates Master. I am deeply honored to have been personally certified by Lolita San Miguel, one of the only two individuals certified by Joseph Pilates himself.
Over the past eight years, I have been teaching at Studio Flo Pilates in San Diego, CA. My journey of continuous learning has led me to study with some of the most esteemed Pilates instructors all over the world, including Moses Urbano, Lori Coleman-Brown, Jerome Weinberg, Sanje Mayo, and Mariano Dolagaray, as well as a regular private practice under the mentorship of Angela Leone for the past 5 years.
In 2021, I deepened my understanding of breath—the most fundamental Pilates principle—by becoming a certified breathwork facilitator through the Holistic Health School of San Diego under Shawna Schenk.
In addition to my extensive Pilates training, I hold an MS in Molecular and Cellular Biology from Cal Poly Pomona and a BS in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of California, Irvine.
