My Story

My journey starts with my own struggles. As a child, I battled severe, sleep-stealing eczema, along with unexplained food allergies and hormonal imbalances like PCOS. These challenges drove me to dive deep into understanding how our bodies work, which led me to study biology in college. I minored in psychology because I’ve always had a passion for helping kids, not just with their bodies, but their mental health, too.

That passion carried me through to earning my master’s in education, so I could teach kids what I had learned about the human body. I spent more time in the classroom than most biology teachers because I knew how crucial it was for kids to really know their bodies. After supporting gifted and talented students in the NYCDOE for years, I realized I wanted to do more. I pursued additional certifications to work with students with disabilities, taking on cases that most teachers didn’t even want to approach.

I didn’t just teach—I worked to change the system. I rewrote entire curricula to make biology more inclusive and hands-on, integrating both students with special needs and gifted learners. I made sure kids weren’t just learning from textbooks but experiencing the subject, understanding their bodies through biology and chemistry.

Eventually, I moved into corporate curriculum development, transforming biology programs to be more interactive and environmentally conscious. But my love for kids, especially helping them live their healthiest lives, pulled me back. I returned to school to become a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, specializing in gut health and minerals for kids.

Now, I support kids from all walks of life—whether they’re managing complex health issues, need nutritional support to excel in a gifted program, or just want to be the best, most vibrant version of themselves.
