her career path:
“I’ve explored many of those opportu-
nities and have worked as a guest
services coordinator, a spa training
manager, a wellness road-warrior
who traveled the country promoting
wellness for The Buzz Bus, a
community manager for the Green
Spa Network and a project manager
for multiple Global Wellness Institute
Initiatives. Currently, I support the
marketing and communications for
both the Global Wellness Summit and
the Global Wellness Institute, helping
to advance the $4.2 trillion global
wellness economy.”
on how the scholarship helped her
achieve her goals:
“I don’t think I could have understood
the vast opportunities ahead of me
without this opportunity. I’m still in
touch with the leaders and visionaries
I met at the 2010 ISPA Conference &
Expo. Before that, it was difficult to
see how I could really make a career
in spa and wellness.”
