I graduated from the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul, MN with a degree in Business Administration. After a few years in the corporate world, my passion for fitness & health, as well as helping others, landed me in the fitness industry. I furthered my education receiving certifications from:

American Council on Exercise (Certified Personal Trainer)
National Academy of Sports Medicine (Certified Personal Trainer & Corrective Exercise Specialist)
New Leaf Fitness (Certified Metabolic Specialist)
Muscle Activation Techniques (Jumpstart Certified)
Evolve Sports Medicine Group (Certificate of Completion Metabolic Physiology)

Nutrition & Metabolism Society (Member)
Weston A. Price Foundation (Member)

I worked for Life Time Fitness for five years and during that time, I had the opportunity to educate and coach countless individuals in achieving better physical health through weight loss counseling and personal training. I found my niche in the fitness world by becoming an expert in metabolic testing. Having administered well over 1,500 metabolic assessments, I was privy to more metabolic data than any research study could provide. Through my hands on experience and my never-ending search to learn more, I became an expert and educator in my field.
