On her YouTube channel you can find that her daily life is a pure fusion of her talents, rooted in sustainability and geared towards a healthy future for our global community. Her accolades are very impressive, but above all she's a loving wife, an amazing mother to her baby boy Buddy and is one of the most genuine people you'll ever meet. Enjoy the episode!
