UltraMarathoner / Culinary Nutritionist / Master Gardener / Vegetarian / Dog Lover / Doodler / GOTRCoach / Curious about the science of everything!
I love to eat, cook, garden, read, and run! I love doggies, especially terriers. I am passionate about native gardening and love digging in the dirt, bugs, and learning how all aspects of the environment work together!
I have a degree in Kinesiology from the University of Minnesota, which is the scientific study of purposeful human movement, including the physiological, biomechanics, and psychological components. In school, I focused on Proper Nutrition to Enhance Athletic Performance, Fueling During Prolonged Activity, Environmental and Familial/Cultural Influence and Contribution to Childhood Overweight and Obesity, and Implications for the Development of Healthy Lifestyle Habits among Children.
