For nearly three decades I have dedicated my life to helping others live healthier, more purposeful lives. Before becoming a high school health and physical education teacher, I worked in physical therapy, where I developed a strong foundation in rehabilitation, movement, and the body’s ability to heal. For the past 29 years, I have taught health while also coaching at both the high school and collegiate levels and guiding adults as an endurance coach. Along the way, I’ve created nutrition and wellness plans for friends, family members, and individuals facing health challenges, all driven by my passion for longevity and whole-body wellness.

I believe strongly in practicing what I preach and have built my life around healthy lifestyle habits. As retirement approaches, I found myself prayerfully searching for what comes next. With my deep passion for health and wellness, becoming a health practitioner felt like the natural next step. I hold a BS in Health and Physical Education, an MS in Curriculum and Design/Leadership, and an Administration Endorsement. After completing my current coursework, I plan to pursue a Doctorate of Science in Functional Nutrition.

I firmly believe that our bodies possess an incredible ability to heal from within, when we nourish and support them with what God has provided, and I am committed to helping others discover that potential for themselves.
