I studied Human Nutrition, Foods & Exercise with an emphasis in Exercise & Health Promotion at Virginia Tech & put that knowledge to work on a daily basis as a Pilates Instructor at the only classical Pilates Studio in the OBX, The Presidio of Pilates! In addition to my education, my love for business & entrepreneurial spirit led me to Hosting! I CoHost multiple spaces in locations throughout the United States and as a Professional Referrer of hosting I take great joy in teaching folks how to start their own business hosting by themselves or with assistance. I have taught a course at the local church - The Path To Financial Freedom! I LOVE to TRAVEL - so reach out if you would like me to teach a course in YOUR home town in the US or Internationally! Things that bring me great joy: 1. My relationships with my K9 Medusa, kitties Oli & Sassy, close friends & family, clients & guests! 2. Water (referring to all large bodies of water....not the beverage! ;) 3. Beach walks & Podcasts! 4. Meditation 5. Pilates 6. Quotes!!

Pat Conroy ~All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware. Martin Buber ~Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, & that has made all the difference. Robert Frost ~Remember that happiness is a way of travel - not a destination.
