I have a passion and desire to bring others to greater levels of health and wellness. With over 20 years of emergency and trauma room experience as an RN, I bring a seasoned yet fresh approach to health and wellness education.

  Embarrassing Moment? In college, I was in a basketball dunk contest, and as I jumped up to slam it, my ball hit the front of the rim, knocking me off balance, and I came crashing down on my ankle and fell flat on my face. The gym was full of people, and there was utter silence. I missed the dunk and almost broke my ankle in the process in front of hundreds of fellow students. To this day, I cringe as I recount that horrific memory! 

  If I had a robot, what would you train it to do? "Give me daily deep tissue shiatsu massages." 

  Proud Moment? “I had the great honor of being chosen as an honoree for The REAL Awards. These awards highlight the work of health workers around the globe. I was honored and humbled to be a recipient of this award that was given to me by a former United States President. It was a great pleasure to be able to meet a former President and represent millions of health workers around the globe who help save lives every day."
