My Professional Background
My professional career started after graduating from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. I followed a few different paths including hospitality, marketing, commercial insurance and non-profits. During this time, I enjoyed being involved with different organizations in which I was able to give back to the community. Read more about my experience on LinkedIn.
My Wellness Journey
My wellness journey began as I recovered from a crazy injury. My dog accidentally scratched my eye, which resulted in an infection that eventually led to a cornea transplant. After a successful surgery, I began to contemplate my first triathlon. I fell in love with the sport and went on to compete in triathlon for 18 years. During this time, I had the opportunity to mentor and coach over 50 others who loved the sport. While competing, mentoring and coaching, I adopted healthy nutrition and exercise habits that have lasted many years.
Wellness Coaching
I realized I wanted to do more to help others live a long, happy and meaningful life. After tons of research, I landed on Mayo Clinic’s Wellness Coach training program. The skills I learned in the program included listening, collaborating, and empathizing with clients. In addition to learning how to be an effective coach, I committed to prioritizing my wellness. This included incorporating meditation, relaxation and balance in my life. In July 2022, I successfully completed all the requirements to be a Mayo Clinic trained Wellness Coach. In April 2023, I earned my certification through the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching. In September 2023, I earned the designation of Mayo Clinic Certified Wellness Coach.
