What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to inspire others in their health journeys, with opportunities for growth and collaboration in a supportive environment.

I am a dedicated health and wellness professional with a strong background in health sciences, currently pursuing my BS in Health Sciences Nutrition and Foods at Northern Arizona University. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my 3.65 GPA and recognition on the Dean's List. I have a passion for helping others achieve their health goals, which I have cultivated through my roles as a health coach manager and yoga instructor.

In my current position as a Yoga Instructor at NAU Campus Recreation, I lead classes multiple times a week, fostering a welcoming environment for participants. My responsibilities extend beyond teaching; I also supervise events and ensure the facility remains safe and clean. My experience in health coaching has equipped me with over 60 hours of Motivational Interviewing training, allowing me to effectively guide clients in areas such as meal planning and stress management. I take pride in creating engaging promotional content to raise awareness about health coaching services.
