Location	Riverside, California, United States
Introduction	I am a mommy of 4 including a wonderful 15 year old son with autism and a 10 year old daughter with Turner Syndrome and autism. I decided in June of 2011 to change my lifestyle. Growing up in Alabama, I always had fresh seafood and vegetables, but nutrition and eating for health rather than taste was never emphasized. I joined a gym in early summer of 2010 not knowing that it would take me to a career path that would affect myself, my children, and others in a very positive way. I obtained my BA in 2014 in Public Health Policy from the UC-Irvine. I am currently 2 classes away from a Master of Arts (MA) in Health Studies/Health Promotion. My ultimate goal is to influence others to make healthier choices with their diet and exercise regimen. Living healthy is a lifestyle! Everything we put into our mouth and do with our bodies is our choice! Be inspired... if a southern girl (and now mom of 4) who was raised on bacon and fried foods can do it..... SO CAN YOU! =)
