I am a health & wellness educator with over 25 years of experience in nonprofit leadership, eLearning, and corporate and clinical education. I started my career as a high school teacher and professional dancer which set me up for success in transitioning to corporate/clinical training and exercise science. I am a Clinical Exercise Physiologist through the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). I worked in cardiopulmonary rehab for over 8 years educating patients on the power of lifestyle changes to manage and reverse their disease. In my role, I was instrumental in laying the foundation to bring The Ornish Reversal Program (ICR) to Sarasota Memorial Hospital. I worked for the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies for 10 years starting as a Plant-Based Nutrition Instructor and ending my tenure as the Executive Director of Education. I am most proud of my contributions in design & development to the organization’s flagship, 6 week, Plant Based Nutrition Certificate offered in partnership with Cornell University.I am currently the Director of Education for The Plantrician Project and share their passion for lifestyle medicine to transform and regenerate human health and health care. My dedication to education drives me to continually explore new ways to share knowledge, empower others, and inspire change. I would love to speak at your next event.
