On January 5th, 2020, I began to find my freedom. I started a public Instagram page @datanotdiets in which I shared my health journey. Through my transparency, I realized that I was not only holding myself accountable, but inspiring others to do the same.

I connected to a community with shared values around health and nutrition.

I have always been passionate about helping and teaching others. Empowering others empowers me! I am fueled by watching other women learn, grow, and thrive. The power of community inspires me.

Ironically, the same year I began to find freedom, I found out I had a fibroid on my uterus that needed to be removed by surgery. There is not a lot of research regarding fibroids and where they come from. I connected with many women via Instagram who have or had fibroids as well; I knew I was not alone. Removing my fibroid kick started a motivation in me to be the best I can be for my future self.

I began to work on connection and listening to my body and building healthy habits.

Through my Instagram journey, I also connected with an entire community of Behavior Analysts who utilize the science of behavior in health and nutrition and my vision became clear.

I have 8 years of professional experience working directly with a range of clients — from individuals who have developmental disabilities and their caretakers, to health-conscious individuals committed to making a lifestyle change.

I have used the science of behavior to fuel my own personal growth as well as seen first-hand how data has helped my clients become more connected to their body, discover their values, and be empowered to implement change in their lives.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from California State University of Northridge and a Master’s Degree in Applied Behavior Analysis from Ball State University. In addition, I became a Certified Personal Trainer through the National Association of Sports and Fitness (NASM).
