I am interested in health education and wish to obtain a position in a health promotion field and preventative health care after completion of my degree. My ultimate goal is to write and publish a Life 101 interactive website directed towards children/youth and eventually opening a learning center or Life 101 camp. This will include starting up my non-profit organization with the intent of offering scholarships to underprivileged children/youth interested in improving their health and learning how to live a healthy lifestyle.

Currently, I am pursuing my Bachelor of Science in Healthy Lifestyles Coaching through Arizona State University/School of Nutrition and Health Promotion. After completion of my degree, my immediate learning goals may lead me into further school in alternative/complementary health care such as becoming certified in a holistic field. In the meantime, I am attempting to start up my non-profit business geared around helping children/youth improve their lives.

My interests are varied, but the most exciting aspect of what I like to do is centered around food! I love to cook and create new, tasty creations for my family and friends. I am most proud of the latest accomplishment in healing my own body with incorporating a healthy, organic and balanced diet. This is in addition to staying active and enjoying activities like going dancing, attending yoga each week, and walking or hiking in the nearby forests. I love to be out in nature which has inspired my horticultural interests and am looking forward to growing my own organic garden this year. I would also like to plant a butterfly garden to add a touch of beauty into my garden!
