Biography
As a Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD), Occupational Therapist, Registered (OTR), Registered Dietitian (RD), Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), and ACE Certified Health Coach (ACE-CHC), I am grateful for the opportunity to serve students through the gifts God has given me. My primary identity is found in Christ, and my calling is to reflect His character in every aspect of my work. I hold closely the truth of 1 Timothy 4:8, which reminds us that while physical training is valuable, pursuing godliness offers blessings for this life and eternity.
