With a career deeply rooted in wellness, education, and personal growth, I have continually sought to blend my passions to make a meaningful impact. I bring strong skills in training and education, a deep passion for health and wellness, and a proven ability to drive positive development in individuals.My professional journey began as an elementary art teacher, where I merged my love for art with the joy of nurturing young minds. Transitioning to a college admissions representative, I found fulfillment in guiding students towards achieving their academic and personal goals.My dedication to wellness led me to earn a Master’s in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Opening my own practice allowed me to integrate Chinese medicine, Western medicine, nutritional therapy, lifestyle changes, and stress management to help my patients achieve better health. This venture also provided invaluable lessons in marketing, project management, finance, and meticulous attention to detail.Currently, as an Instructional Support Specialist for The Practical Path, I continue to channel my passion for wellness and education. In my current role as an Instructional Support Specialist at The Practical Path, I enjoy supporting adult learners through teaching and also take pleasure in managing and mentoring teaching interns. This allows me to contribute to effective learning outcomes while helping future instructors develop the skills needed to excel in wellness education.In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family, playing and watching tennis, working out, stumbling through Flamenco dance lessons, and spending as much time in the sun and in nature as possible.
