About the Instructor 

Hello! I'm a Certified Crochet Instructor with a passion for sharing the joy of crochet. I've been crocheting since I was 12 years old, and over the years, it has become my go-to outlet for de-stressing, managing anxiety, and unleashing creativity. Crochet is more than just a craft; it's a therapeutic practice that nurtures both mental and emotional well-being.

Join me on a journey to discover this beautiful skill, where we'll work together to create stunning pieces while enhancing your overall wellness. Plus, I’m bilingual—yo hablo español—so everyone is welcome! Let’s crochet and create something wonderful together!
