Nutrition, Media, Education Professional

As a wife and mother of three including identical twins, I curate experiences for my family centered around food and travel. In the early stages of my career as a journalist, I focused on advocacy and the representation of marginalized voices. I grounded myself in fitness and utilized my experience to unlock my clients' fitness potential. While working in television news, my passion for food, nutrition, and wellness sparked an idea to document my training for an Olympic distance triathlon. Blogging my experience turned into a weekly health and fitness feature for ABC11 WTVD News and served as a catalyst to return to the classroom and learn more about nutrition.

Testimonials

“From journalism to health and wellness, I’ve worked with Akiia and benefited from her depth of knowledge and expertise. As a communicator, she is committed to providing accurate, meaningful and non judgemental information to help others improve their lives by making healthier choices. I’ve sought her help with making healthier food choices and establishing a sustainable exercise routine. Most recently, I was a patient at the hospital where she managed the food services team and can confirm the quality of food and the service I received far exceeded what I had experienced at other hospitals. Her influence and expertise were evident in the menu and the professionalism of her staff.”
