My career as a professional registered nurse has encompassed numerous aspects of wellness and promoting healthy lifestyles. After graduating from the University of Florida, I have spent my career working with an Orthopedic surgeon in the office, hospital, and surgery for over 25 years. During this time, I also taught for 12 years in the practical nursing program at Santa Fe College located in Gainesville,Florida. While teaching I worked at UF Health in neurology, cardiology, gastroenterology, and orthopedics.
Years of helping sick patients in the hospital helped me realize how important proper, clean eating and a healthy lifestyle truly are to a person’s overall physical and emotional well-being. This part of my life ignited my passion for helping others become and stay healthy.
What started with me simply challenging my students to make better food choices and taking the stairs instead of the elevator evolved into me teaching them exercise classes on the weekend and assisting them in healthy meal planning. Now I want to help you become the healthiest and happiest you can be by working with you to create your individualized plan for success!
