Before she became the owner of a nutrition company, she had a private counseling business and created a hands-on nutrition program for her clients called "Weigh To Better Health." She used test tubes filled with sugar for her clients to show them visually just how much sugar they were eating. The results of this 3 month nutrition intervention using my visual teaching tool, SUPER 15 tm were positive and promoted weight loss of most of the individuals. E. Lilly sponsored this program and published the results.

Additionally, in her spare time, she was building her own private counseling practice.

In addition to becoming a Certified LEAP Therapist to specialize in non-drug related treatment for fibromyalgia, IBS symptoms and migraine through identifying non-IgE food sensitivity testing, she is certified in adult weight management by the American Dietetic Association. She holds several degrees: an associate degree in biology, a bachelor's degree in nutrition from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and a master's degree in science, from UMDNJ, where she also completed an internship.
