I graduated from Ohio University, where I earned a B.S. in Health. During my college days, I was actively involved in campus life. I was a member of Alpha Gamma Delta and held the office of Vice President of Operations my senior year. I was also involved with Eta Sigma Gamma, a health education honorary. I volunteered for WellWorks, Ohio University’s Employee Wellness Program. This educational experience sparked my interest in corporate wellness, as I learned how to monitor blood pressure and interact with University faculty and staff. I continued to pursue corporate wellness by accepting a summer internship opportunity at Fidelity Investments, as a Health Fitness Specialist through Johnson & Johnson Health Care Services. Upon completion of my internship, I became a Certified Health Education Specialist and then moved to Chicago, Illinois. While living in Chicago, I worked for a corporate wellness company, Health Maintenance Institute, as a Health Promotion Manager. I lived the city life for three years and then decided to relocate home to Cincinnati in April 2006. Since my return home, I have been enjoying time with my family, friends, and my favorite Weimaraner dog, Maddy. I love to run and golf, and I have taken up a new hobby of cake decorating. I am happy to be part of the Employee Health & Well-Being team and look forward to the continued growth and success of the program.
