NutritionIt's no secret that diet and nutrition play a huge role in health. In 2013 I made the big decision to go back to school to complete my Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Communication. I graduated cum laude from Arizona State in 2017. Since then I have completed additional courses in childhood obesity and psychology to deeper understand our relationship with food and it's consequences.
LifeI am a married mama of two tiny humans and a furbaby. My family keeps me pretty busy but I can always find time to sneak in a game of Mario Bros or Mario Kart. Please don't invite me to play anything more advanced than a 2D Mario game, I will get lost on the map and not know how to get back. Doctor Who is one of my favorite shows of all time. I'm still mourning the fact that we only got one season of Firefly. I love the outdoors and always feel better after I get a little time in the sun. I also sing Disney songs around my house and get upset when animals don't help me clean.

SleepI am an internationally registered polysomnographic technologist (RPSGT). I passed my boards in 2006 and spent most of my sleep career at MetroHealth Medical Center right here in Cleveland, Ohio. I taught polysomnography at Cuyahoga Community College and was their program tutor for several years. I have worked with pediatrics, adults, and neonates, and have also taken part in running two research trials for sleep medicine at MetroHealth.
