As a working wife and mother of three children widely varying in age, I understand the challenges of finding time for one's own health and fitness while also coping with family demands and family health concerns. One of my secrets is to incorporate a family-wide healthy lifestyle. I do this by having the family exercise together and having the whole family appreciate wholesome foods and adopt healthy eating habits. Recently, I taught children how to have a healthy lifestyle through a Summer Health Series seminar. I am a graduate of Delaware State University and after spending eight years in the corporate world; I decided to follow my passion and became a fitness specialist through the National Personal Training Institute in Vienna.
