MY BACKGROUND:
My background includes a B.S. in Professional Writing from Champlain College, and certifications in cognitive coaching, Ashtanga Yoga, and personal training.
Back in the day, I set 15 records in drug-free amateur powerlifting with record lifts of 190 lb. bench press, 265 lb. squat, and a 300 lb. deadlift. No more heavy lifting for me these days, but you will find me using most of my free time jogging, jumping rope, lifting light weights, walking with my husband and my dog, and scootering with my children in large empty parking lots.
