About Me
As a child I loved ballet and modern dance. But dancing triggered an obsession with food and weight. The pressure to excel academically and be thin led to a constant struggle to lose those “last 10 pounds.” I battled the need for instant food gratification and loathed my perceived lack of willpower.
After breaking free from this pattern, I wanted to help others address similar obstacles. I became an exercise physiologist and started working at The Joslin Clinic, a prestigious Boston hospital for diabetes treatment. As a bi-lingual Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE), I specialized in cultural competency, creating educational materials for the Latino population. My work made me realize how important it is that people with diabetes appreciate the essential role of physical activity in their lives. I became one of only 40 exercise professionals in the world with the unique skill set to teach patients how to manage blood sugar using physical activity. As such, I am invited in the United States and other countries as a keynote speaker to train health care providers who work with English- and Spanish-speaking patients.
With over 15 years of clinical and industry experience, I have refined my message to make it understandable and fun. As such, I am invited in the United States and other countries as a keynote speaker to train health care providers who work with English- and Spanish-speaking patients.
