“After studying Exercise and Sports Science in undergraduate and graduate school, I founded FitWellConnect in 2007. I promoted health and wellness in small, rural communities in the Arkansas Delta. During my time in the Delta, I fell in love with community development, went back to school and earned a master’s degree in public service. I worked as a community developer for seven years. At the height of my community work, I suffered both mental and physical injuries from a car accident, gained 30 pounds and found myself longing to reconnect to my 1st love, fitness and wellness. Not only did I want to reconnect, I wanted to help others connect too, so in 2020, I decided to relaunch FitWellConnect!
