I started my career in the Medical field as an MA, after a year of night school. I realized quite quickly working for 7 internal medicine physicians that I wanted to help people be well, not sick. I utilized my medical education and was lucky enough to land a position working for a chiropractor whose practice was attached to a fitness center. As his tech I was helping his patients recover and work on muscle imbalances that led to their muskuloskeletal issues. I eventually started running fitness classes and obtaining a national CPT certification(Certified Personal Trainer) to work one on one with the local community, and that is how my fitness career started. I went on to coordinate, assist, direct, manage and eventually own my fitness establishment. As I evolved and found myself in elevated positions I went on to obtain several certifications and eventually a Bachelors in Alternative Medicine aka, Nutrition and a Masters in Public Health Administration. Over the past decade I have been fortunate to work in Health Promotions and as a Health Educator on 3 Military bases where I created an award winning program that not only helps active military members pass their PFT (Physical Fitness Test) but also works for the average civilian wanting to lose weight, stay in shape and lead an active, healthy lifestyle.
