The internet is often the first place people look for health information. It's so crucial that qualified, knowledgeable professionals are part of the online space, too — not just influencers! That's why I'm passionate about educating on various nutrition and fitness topics through mediums like writing and video. As a health professional, I want to make health topics less daunting and more digestible.
