Prior to completing graduate school, she worked as a Registered Nurse in the Medical Intensive Care Unit at Loma Linda University Medical Center.

Looking good and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are also of upmost importance. To maintain her physique, she does circuit training and cardio four days a week.

She is a firm believer in the notion that “looking good means feeling good.”
