I’ve been in the Health care field since 1996 and in Complementary and Alternative Medicine since 2000. Currently a Certified Nurse Assistant, I’m also Certified in Natural Health and Certified as a Nutrition Specialist through Ashworth University.
Intensely interested and passionate about the rise of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) and Preventive Medicine, I pursued and obtained my Bachelor’s in Health Science with emphasis on Health and Wellness at Kaplan University. Some of the classes I have taken have been:

* Models of Health and Wellness;
* Vitamins, Herbs and Nutritional Supplements;
* Scientific Foundations of Exercise and Fitness;
* CAM;
* Research Methods for Health Sciences;
* Contemporary Diet and Nutrition;
* Current Trends in Exercise and Fitness-Aging Well Across the Lifespan;
* Stress-Critical Issues in Management and Prevention;
* Health and Wellness Programming-Design and Administration;
* Public Health;
* Ecological and Environmental Perspectives on Food;
* Epidemiology;
* Microbiology;
* Environmental Health;
* Marketing Research;
* Culture and Religion Identity; and many more.
The Founder of the Results Project-Orlando Chapter in 2004, I taught parents of ADD/ADHD, Bi-polar and Autistic children how to find the Causes of their child’s symptoms, helped eliminate those causes and often helped the parent get their child off some or all prescription medications (with the doctor’s guidance), all the while helping the parent direct their child to a happy, healthy, successful, and drug-free life.
I’ve been on several radio programs, have held several fund-raisers for medically needy and medically fragile children, and have sponsored several of my clients in health related documentaries as well as the local news.
Ad avid reader and writer, I also has a certification in writing for children and teenagers from the Institute for Writing in Connecticut and have written many Wellness related articles for the Examiner and blogs on raising healthy children and living a healthier life - for all ages.
