I’m a healthy aging advocate passionate about empowering older adults to stay independent and thrive. My journey began unexpectedly, but working with aging adults in cardiac rehab and diabetes care revealed their resilience, wisdom, and zest for life. As an award-winning implementation scientist, I design audience-centered wellness programs using Social Marketing Theory to inspire meaningful behavior change. I’m also a dedicated educator, mentoring students through hands-on learning and fostering community nutrition skills while emphasizing work-life harmony. Together, let’s celebrate aging and create a healthier, more vibrant future!
