About Me
From a young age, I was passionate about ballet and modern dance. However, these pursuits also sparked an intense preoccupation with food and weight. The pressure to excel academically while maintaining a lean physique led to a relentless struggle to shed those “last 10 pounds.” I often found myself wrestling with immediate food gratification and self-criticism over my perceived lack of willpower.
After overcoming these personal challenges, I was inspired to help others facing similar obstacles. I pursued a career as an exercise physiologist and joined The Joslin Clinic—a renowned Boston hospital specializing in diabetes treatment. As a bilingual Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) focused on cultural competency, I developed educational materials for the Latino community. This work deepened my understanding of the vital role physical activity plays in diabetes management, positioning me as one of only 60 exercise professionals worldwide uniquely qualified to teach patients how to control blood sugar through exercise.
With over 20 years of clinical and industry experience, I have refined my approach to health education to be both accessible and engaging. Today, I am honored to serve as a keynote speaker in the United States and internationally, training healthcare providers who work with English- and Spanish-speaking patients.
