If I wasn’t a provider, I would be a: If I wasn't a provider, I would work in sports management. I love connecting with people and I love almost every sport. Plus, I would love the free tickets to the various sporting events!

What is the best thing you’ve done for your health or the best health advice you’ve received? The best health advice I've received is to be gentle on yourself. Health and wellness is a marathon, not a sprint. Changes happen over long periods of time and take a lot of work one slip up or mistake will never define you, we are all human and deserve to be treated with kindness and grace. Often the hardest critic is oneself, therefore it is important to have compassion for oneself so that you can give that compassion to others
