It started back in 2000 when I became a health coach for the first time and registered for a "new" program called the Integrative Institute of Nutrition. I spent the next 20 years becoming more and more interested in the environment and how it was changing. In 2014 I became a National board LEED GA a Leader in Environmental and Energy Design as a General Associate and then in 2015 Plantbased Certified under Thomas C. Campbell at eCornell. I obtained my supplement certification in January 2024 through Designs For Health. I have been Plantbasedvegan for 17 years, Plantforward Plantbased with animal protein for three years, a 7x Ironman full distance Athlete not professional and truly desire to help people know how to live better than they are right now. I am well versed in leading a Plantbased diet that is rich in nutrients and grown authentically. As Maya Angelou says "When you know better, you do better." It has been a dream to get this point in the coaching process and I am honored to be a NBC-HWC.
