Following eight years of night school where I obtained a Bachelors degree in Business Administration, I spent over 15 years in various sales, marketing and product development leadership roles.
When I retired from Corporate America at the old age of 42, I spent several years consulting while trying to figure out my purpose in life; I knew I wanted to serve others and I knew I had to be passionate about what I was doing.
It was during that time I discovered that I had food allergies (nuts and shellfish) and that led me to return to school (as if eight years wasn't enough!) to attain my nutrition certification and, in concert, my personal trainer certification (ACE).
Now, at the young age of 46, I've reinvented myself using my passion for cooking (and eating!) to teach those embracing a healthy lifestyle how to create a simple dish that is delicious and nutritious, and by incorporating exercise, creating the best program for balancing energy, mood and weight.
