She is passionate about a citizen’s right-to-choose natural health products, nutrient dense food as opposed to factory farming practices and genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Opening a holistic nutrition school branch has allowed me the opportunity to impart the cause and effect of how our daily choices and actions impact our own health and the environment. To see students thrive and develop new skills while improving their own lives, to bringing solutions by educating and facilitating others, is one of the most rewarding aspects of my life.
