I grew up on a Maryland farm in a rural town with a population under 800. In my youth I walked to and from school and on weekends I rode horses with my friends. From a young age I showed a penchant for visual art but also science. I graduated from the University of Maryland with a bachelor’s in Graphic Design. Since there was no sufficient job market for designers in Maryland, I decided to move to Manhattan because I wanted to experience the art and culture that NYC had to offer. As it turned out, design work was a poor fit and I loathed sitting in an office all day staring at the monitor. I soon resigned and quickly became immersed in dance and acting. For the longest time, dance was my life. After performing for over 11 years, I longed to help people on a higher level and dreamed of a job that would satisfy my soul.
I moved to Arizona in 2012 and graduated from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine and Health Sciences in 2015. My primary interests include medical aesthetics, hormones and anti-aging, men’s and women’s health, endocrinology, and preventive wellness. In my spare time I like to stay physically active as much as possible. I am also a certified Pilates teacher. My hobbies include dance, theater, fine art, cooking, being outdoors, and traveling.
