Shirley's passion for health arose during high school athletics where she then realized the relationship between peak game performance and nutrition. After obtaining a Bachelor's of Science in Human Food & Nutrition with an emphasis in Sports Nutrition, Shirley was employed at the hospital in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in addition to screening adult patients for nutritional risk. Throughout her journey, she has learned that there are no one-size-fit all plans life continually shapes one's personal nutritional experience. To Shirley, there is nothing more gratifying than assisting someone in meeting both their health and personal goals while making everlasting connections.
