About
I've had the opportunity to be a health promotions professional in the health care, corporate, retail and private sector for the last 16 years. I graduated from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Exercise Science and Wellness Education in 2000. Although this was the beginning of my professional fitness/wellness career, I have always been active both on and away from the job. I was a certified scuba diving instructor in Atlanta, Georgia, South Florida and the Florida Keys for 6 years. This lead me to the inevitable next career as a certified U.S. Coast Guard Captain running scuba charters in south Florida. Working my way through school by driving for UPS, I graduated in 2000. I started my professional career with an internship at a Florida Heart Hospital in their Cardiac Rehabilitation department. There I performed stress tests, worked with phase 2 and 3 cardiac patients and performed community health screenings. This was a very rewarding experience. From 2001 to 2006 I worked for JPMorganChase bank in their physician based fitness and wellness program in both Tampa, Florida and Dallas, Texas. A corporate merger lead to the demise of this program so that is when I moved to Austin, Texas. Here I had the opportunity to work with a diverse clientele through fitness and corporate wellness programs. This active outdoor community bode well with my lifestyle where I participated in 5K runs, bike races, kayaking and hiking the trails. Currently, I improve lives through corporate health screenings that take me both nationwide and locally. My recent Certified as a Health Coach from Emory University, provides another avenue to promote health services to my community. I enjoy an active life with emphasis on health through exercise, meditation and proper nutrition. My passion is to improve at least one aspect of every client's life that I work with by living the example of health.
