We help local businesses and corporations achieve optimal employee productivity and wellness by providing Sleep Health Education to their workforce. I am passionate about helping improve people's lives through Sleep Medicine, and consider myself so fortunate to be involved in such a fascinating and impactful field for over 10 years now. After graduating with my A.A.S. degree in Polysomnography, I received my RPSGT credentials and went on to spend years working overnights at different sleep labs and hospitals performing sleep studies for patients with sleep disorders. Years later, I was honored to return to my Alma Mater as an Instructor in the Polysomnography Program, where I continue to teach the future generations of sleep technologists this intriguing job. Throughout my years in Sleep Medicine I have had countless conversations with individuals in my community regarding their sleep, and recognized a lack of education regarding the importance of sleep health in the general public. This prompted me to start Sleep Health Specialists, which focuses on sleep health classes for local businesses and corporations. This Sleep Health Education allows our workforce to learn how proper sleep can positively impact their health, wellness, and productivity.
