Life’s mission: To live a happy, healthy, well-balanced life and assist others with the same goals.

Work:  I am a Naturopathic Consultant at Lee Memorial Health System’s Lee Physician Group (LPG) Integrative Medicine.

Proudest Achievements:  I’m most proud of changing my diet and lifestyle to make myself healthier and of pursuing a postgraduate doctorate of naturopathic medicine at the University of Bridgeport College of Naturopathic Medicine. This allows me to pursue a career that gives me the ability to share my passion of helping others to become healthier, as well.  

Expectations for the Future: Continue my life mission, and to be open to new possibilities, all while adopting more rescue dogs!

Favorite app: FitBit. I love tracking my exercise and sleep, while challenging friends and family to the most steps.

Favorite websites:  I frequently visit TheNatPath.com, local news sites to stay aware of local current events, and I browse sites like Pinterest for healthy recipe blogs.

Local causes supported: I support causes that are not currently official programs and consider my speaking engagements as supporting a cause to teach others about their natural healthcare options.

Favorite thing about Natural Awakenings: Local events and places highlighted.

Most frequented healthy food restaurant: Chef Brooke’s Natural café.

How you invest in your community: I’m publicly speaking to educate others on natural healthcare. I try to shop at farmer’s markets and I try to shop as locally as I can overall.

Favorite quote: "Let medicine be thy food and let food be thy medicine." ~ Hippocrates

What you are doing to be the change you want to see in the world: I’m empowering individuals to take charge of their own health and encouraging them to learn more about preventative healthcare.
