Hi there,
I'm Shelby. The San Francisco, East Bay area is where I grew up through high school before heading to San Diego for my undergraduate and graduate school experiences. My husband and I have two dogs, one cat, and one baby together. They keep us grounded and are always with us on our adventures to the beach (well not the cat), or in search of BBQ food and coffee. Outside of my Elementary school and USD classrooms, I also taught heated vinyasa (can be translated to, “arranging something in a special way”) yoga. |

I graduated from San Diego State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism, an emphasis in Media Studies and a minor in Political Science. I began working in Marketing at a cloud software company, while Wedding Coordinating and Planning in various vineyards and other exciting locations like churches, lookout points of San Francisco, inside the Presidio, on ranches.. Taking a step back to examine the future, I recalled the moment I could tie up my soccer cleats, which lasted through high school, but after my fourth knee surgery, I shelved my cleats and rolled out a new, purple yoga mat. Practicing yoga was uncomfortable, physically and mentally; I began teaching yoga full-time. This was the first step into my teaching and growth-oriented mindset. I completed my Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Curriculum and Instruction degree, and a Multiple Subject teaching credential, obtaining many certifications along the way, including a designation of Educational Therapist. My professional career is diverse and flexible. :) Thank you for stopping by my site and blog! I look forward to our futures! With Gratitude, Shelby Dorrance |
