HEY!
I'M
 

I was born and raised in New Jersey, and now reside here with my husband, Nick! I grew up an athlete, and played Division 1 Lacrosse at Wagner College. After college athletics, I found myself really unsure of how to hold myself accountable to a fitness/nutrition plan... and my weight crept up & up for about 2 years. After grad school, and trying multiple fad diets, I decided that I wanted to spend time to educate myself on proper nutrition & training..and learn how to lose the weight I gained, and more importantly keep it off. After helping myself on my own journey, I realized I had the opportunity to help others too..and this is when I created Simplified with Jess!
