An original dweller from the great state of New Jersey, I now spend my days bopping around the Tri-State area, calling Stamford CT my home.

I am a graduate from Monmouth University, where I obtained my B.A. in Spanish (I often tell people I have a Spanish soul), and also having received two minors, in Communication and Health Studies.

I am a Holistic Lifestyle Coach from the C.H.E.K institute, a NASM CPT, and I am currently in my last semester for my Masters of Science in Nutrition at the University of Bridgeport.

I advocate a holistic and alternative approach to health and wellness and firmly believe that food can be used as functional medicine and information for our cells. My nutrition blog, www.salafiera.com, covers a variety of health and fitness topics which debunk health myths, discuss alternative health supplements and emphasize the importance of eating quality whole, real foods.

To hear my whit, passion, and nutrition acumen live, surf on over to http://ftns.co/, Mondays at 10:00am, and listen live to The Fitness Effect, where my co-host and I discuss all things health, wellness and fitness related.
