When I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Health Education at the University of New Mexico in 2002 and worked many years performing health education, research, and clerical duties related to health care in the community, I realized a compassion for patients who suffered physically and emotionally from health-related traumas. There I gradually discovered how these patients come to grips with their response mechanisms to external influences, which facilitates improvement in health. The process requires knowledge of solutions to serious health issues good listening skills and a heartfelt interest in helping people improve their quality of life – qualities about which I am passionate.

Perhaps for these reasons did I continue educating myself in health care, obtain a certificate as a Personal Trainer, and work with one of the outstanding training agencies in Chicago. As a trainer, I have helped clients from many walks of life both in Chicago and Ft. Lauderdale achieve through exercise and dietary programs healthier states of being. The sense of personal satisfaction in seeing my clients lose weight, improve self-esteem, overcome vertigo, bipolar disorders, rehab injuries, or fibromyalgia, and gain a heightened sense of perception fuels my continuing interest in how nutrition and movement affect the human body. In addition to keeping my own self fit, my continuing education includes informative literature in the social sciences, nutrition, mental health, causes of disease as well as common and alternative remedies while at the same time striving to understand the physical, emotional, psychological, socio-cultural, cognitive and environmental components of injury and illness.
