From Silver Spring
I am passionate about helping others on their journey to better health. It's incredibly rewarding to see people realize their potential and take the little steps to add up to something amazing. These steps lead them to a more fulfilled lifestyle that empowers them to keep up the good work. Being able to help them through that transition is what I love.

Lauren Burkett was recognized for earning an academic award
I received the Award for Excellence in Internship - Nutrition / Health Food Chief from my internship coordinator- Mrs. Cynthia Gill. She is an inspiration to me because she not only survived breast, colon and lymph node cancer, but she is thriving to this day. During my senior year she was my "experiment" because I advised her to try certain exercises and I made her healthy, gourmet meals. I'm so proud of how far she has come and that she is no longer a pre-diabetic.
