Why I work at OnSite Wellness:

I’m all about the people. If I can play even a small role in helping someone live their best life then I am all for it.

I may be the “Health Coach,” but so often I leave being the one that is inspired by those I interact with.

My Passions:

Sports: watching, playing, or looking up stats. Craft beer: Living in Beer City, USA has taught me a thing or two about its inclusive community. Try new things, have good conversations, and enjoy life – not all that different than what I believe wellness should be.

Fun Fact:

I was part of the swim team in middle school where I was part of setting a school record. However, no one would know it was me because my last name is spelled wrong on the record board and I never cared to correct it.
