About

I have spent the last 25 year educating people about health and fitness. Initially as an exercise specialist in a hospital based wellness program and then transitioning in to the health care field.

My passion is in giving people the tools needed to manage life rather than life managing them. I grew up grappling for ways to cope with the challenges of my own childhood, losing a father as a teenager and having a mother whose health was very bad. By the time I was 25, I’d lost both of my parent. Along the way, I I have been determined not to end up following my parents path. Health and Wellness has become my area of life focus. I take great joy in having a positive impact on people‘s lives.

My education background includes a bachelor’s degree from Kansas State University in the field of Leisure Studies and a Masters in Social Work from Rutgers University. I am currently licensed as a clinical social worker in New Jersey where I reside. I am the author of Creating Compliance and Life Tools Made Simple. My area of expertise is in health and wellness. I have presented my work at conferences throughout the Mid-east.

My approach is simple! Have people leave at the end of a presentation with something they can take and use to make a positive impact in their lives. Energy and passion are a big part of the experience. I involve people in my presentations so that it is an interactive experience rather than a one way process. I love to incorporate door prizes, just to surprise people! My presentation style is one that can hold peoples attention. I love to make a difference in people’s lives and this carries over to my presentations.
