So what brought me into Whole Human and the coaching space? It’s just what I am here on this planet to do. Even before I pursued this role as a profession–coaching and educating is what I've felt drawn to–and excelled in both personally and professionally. It’s just always been a big part of my life.

Before I started Whole Human, I spent ten years as a classroom teacher, curriculum developer, and teacher trainer. I LOVED this work. Creating positive change in my students' lives by getting into the depths of their actions, their motivation, and helping them solve problems to become a little better everyday. This work has always been meaningful.

At the same time that I was excelling in my professional career as a teacher, I was expanding my interests as an adventuring fitness fiend–running marathons, competing in bodybuilding, and challenging myself with Spartan racing. Friends and people around me started to ask for advice to accomplish their health goals, fitness goals, and personal goals too.

As an educator by trade, it was easy for me to provide guidance that created results; and within a short matter of time, I realized that my part-time helping could become full time helping. It leaned into my professional strengths as an educator AND my personal passion of supporting people to live their best life.
