More Information
I have cultivated behavioral-based change across diverse demographics, cultures, and professional roles drawing from over a decade as a PhD level research scientist and another eight years as a workplace health and safety officer. I have an appreciation for the scientific basis for health as well as how professional ability and productivity can be impacted by our comprehensive well-being. I have embraced major life transitions in the face of uncertainty, including raising a family while making three career transitions, acquiring skills and forming new relationships along the way. My passion for holistic wellness is rooted in my personal experience with acute and chronic health challenges, including navigation through epilepsy management. I have a unique perspective that merges scientific insight with compassionate guidance. In my personal life, I enjoy soccer, gardening, and hiking in nature. I have persevered through athletic injuries, while finding creative ways to maintain physical fitness. I am committed to balanced nutrition, daily physical activity, brain health, and embrace growth as I age through living a healthy lifestyle. I believe that healthy living is both an individual and family commitment.
