A description of myself in 5 words or less: Analytical, Focus, Achiever, Discipline, and Activator. I grew up in Hoffman Estates, Illinois- a Northwest suburb of Chicago. During high school, I enjoyed playing soccer and staying active. My best friend Ashley introduced me to horseback riding. In fact, she had invited me to watch one of her lessons and after that day I was hooked. After graduating high school, I knew I wanted to continue to ride. I attended William Woods University in Fulton, Missouri which has an exceptional equestrian team and equine science program. Although I loved horses and competing at the state level in hunter/jumpers, I chose to move back to Illinois to be closer to home and my family. My family has and will always be an essential aspect of my life. I graduated Northern Illinois University with a BS in Business Management. After college, I began working as a benefits analyst at a very large Human Resources company. I later took another analytical finance job for a large Health System in Arlington Heights, Illinois.
After meeting the love of my life at a friend's wedding, I moved to Naples, Florida. Throughout my life I have become very aware of the importance of good health and quality of life. I witnessed loved ones suffer from illness, cancer, and debilitating diseases. Although this has been devastating, I have transformed these negative emotions into a powerful motivator. Through these experiences, I have found my passion: I am inspired to educate, motivate, and challenge individuals to lead healthy active lifestyles every day. I pursued various fitness certifications including NASM personal trainer, YogaFit instructor, and group fitness instructor. I have made a lifetime commitment to myself to aspire to true health.
Beyond Motion is a fitness studio in Naples that has a contagious environment of positivity and wellness. Amy, the co founder of Beyond Motion, introduced me to USANA. I began to use the USANA products and experienced the great benefits. I couldn't help but share the Usana products with others and enlighten them on the amazing products USANA offers. As a business minded individual with a background in finance and a passion for guiding others to true health and wellness, I have chosen to become an independent associate for USANA. As a certified fitness professional and marathoner, USANA products are a key component to my daily routine and vision for long term wellness and vitality. |
