I received my Bachelor's in Public Health here at UVU while interning with the Wellness Programs. Since then, I have been able to continue as the Wellness Coordinator and am always looking to gain professional and educational development.  Away from school, I like to play basketball and guitar. Spending time building Lego's and in the company of my friends and family are other things that I enjoy. Physical Fitness, Stress Less, and Nutrition Strategies are among my favorite wellness education programs.

I am a UVU graduate with a degree in Public Health. I love teaching people about different health topics and helping them make behavior changes that will allow them to live their best lives. I love reading, embroidery, and spending time with my family. The coolest places I have ever traveled to are Alaska and Boston! My favorite health education programs are Stress Less and Sleep.

I am a UVU graduate with a degree in Public Health, and a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. I’m also a mom to six kids with several adorable grandkids who keep life fun. I love interior design, the beach, ranch dressing, and getting lost in a good TV series or book. My focus at UVU is to foster a culture of wellness on campus, focusing on meeting others where they are in their pursuit of lifelong wellness. My favorite health education program that we offer is Never Diet Again - Intuitive Eating.
