MEET Ivy

Ivy's love for nutrition started at an early age. She grew up with vegetarian parents who loved to cook all sorts of strange and delicious vegetables and was the kid who brought salad to school for lunch. She grew to enjoy eating whole foods, cooking and staying active.

After attending community college and transferring to Washington State University, she found herself working in finance. This left her feeling unfulfilled in her day-to-day life, so she started looking for something more exciting and rewarding. After thoughtful consideration, she realized the thing that had always been important and interesting to her was food, exercise, and the way they both affect our bodies. Ivy had a strong belief that food and exercise complement each other. That belief led her to Bastyr University where she found the perfect program built around a holistic approach to wellness that aligned with her beliefs.

She quit her job and went back to school full time to get her degree in Nutrition & Exercise Science. Ivy has worked closely with clients to manage their diet and activity. She has created unique and personalized exercise programs for clients and has worked with athletes to develop healthy nutritional programming.

From working in restaurants through college to her previous roles in finance, Ivy has had years of experience with customers. She believes each and every interaction with her Persona customers is invaluable and strives to provide a unique and tailored experience for them.

Ivy manages our blog, supplement facts and detail pages, customer service, and is brilliant at all of it.

Outside of work, Ivy loves to stay active by doing yoga and running marathons. She even completed her first Ironman this past summer. And when Ivy's not running, she's walking her dog Zeus, baking, reading and spending time with friends.
