I have a degree in Health and Wellness Promotion from UCCS, am an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, and am a Certified Natural Food Chef. After years of struggling with chronic illness, I found my passion in inspiring others to take control of their health. Food is a powerful catalyst that brings people together, and I find excitement in sitting around a table sharing a meal with friends or strangers. I incorporate mindful cooking techniques and enjoy teaching others how much fun cooking can be!   The Lyda Hill Institute for Human Resilience, with financial support from the CU President’s Fund, launched CREATE in 2022 to foster community and lifetime resilience.
