My Story

I grew up and continue to live in Schererville, IN. I am committed to promoting healthier lives in my community of Northwest Indiana. Working at Munster Community Hospital as a Registered Nurse for over 20 years, I have personally witnessed how obesity has overwhelmingly and negatively impacted many individuals’ health. Often, people wait too long and do not proactively address their health status. Instead, they wait for an ailment to develop which gives them a reason to seek medical attention. My intent is to focus on prevention of disease by proactively treating the root causes of many health conditions. It is my mission to provide guidance to those in our community who are affected by weight related conditions in order to help them create a healthy lifestyle and improve their quality of life. In doing so, we can reduce the likelihood of experiencing future astronomical healthcare expenses associated with the onset of life altering disease.
