Personal Narrative

Hi! I'm Sunny! A former MUIH student and current nutritionist and nutrition mentor. I have an MBA as well as my MSNIH from MUIH! Since I graduated, I've built my own private practice and specialize in helping women with Hashimoto's Disease. I'm retired from the USAF. During my 20-years, I spent time in Japan, England, Afghanistan, Iraq, and several different states. I spent most of my time as a Federal law enforcement officer. I definitely made a BIG change by pursuing nutrition! So, I can empathize AND sympathize with those making a career shift towards nutrition! My husband and I reside in Texas but love to travel and do so often. We have 3 grown children and 3 dogs.
