I have been in the Respiratory Field and EMS field taking care of sick adults, kids and infants for many years. My last year has been the most challenging taking care of patients with COVID. I LOVE fitness and working out. It relieves my stress. I have always been active in sports and fitness. I play tennis and was competitive on a few State Leagues until five years ago when my jobs took over my life and I didn't have time. I also love to paddleboard. I have always been interested in ways to help improve my fitness stress.
