I am by no means a fitness junkie and I can’t necessarily say I love exercising. However, I’m on a journey of achieving optimal wellness so I’m committed to doing what promotes my physical, mental, and social well-being. A healthy lifestyle is a priority to me for a number of reasons, but it was most inspired by my hypothyroidism diagnosis. My go-to workouts are strength training and barre.

I work full-time for Booking.com, one of the world’s largest travel and attraction companies. I’m responsible for defining, influencing, and leading initiatives that impact my organization globally.

In my spare time, I enjoy volunteering in the local Grand Rapids community.  I am passionate about writing— I love to use storytelling to relate, inspire, and encourage.
