About Me –
I am honored to join the Health & Wellness team at the Bangor Region YMCA! I have always enjoyed being physically active, from playing high school soccer, basketball, and softball, to running a marathon for the Leukemia Society. I love spending time outside in nature, hiking, kayaking and gardening. I advanced my knowledge of physical fitness by earning my BS in Kinesiology and Physical Education. After college, I decided to fulfill a childhood dream of becoming a fulltime firefighter/EMT-B and a fire and life safety public educator I & II. My next life adventure was simply amazing: I had the privilege of being a stay-at-home mother to our two amazing boys. During this time, I earned my M.Ed. in special education, and I worked in education for a number of years. I am extremely excited to have the opportunity to return to my true passion of expanding my knowledge in exercise physiology and teaching others about the life-changing benefits of being physically active.
