My name is Patricia Hoen and I have always had a passion for health and fitness. When asked to do research and writing for It's All Health I was thrilled to have the opportunity to learn more about healthy living and to share my findings with the world.

Out of high school I was recruited to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington to run track and field, and ever since I tasted the salt in the air, Wilmington has been my home. Although my track career is behind me now, I still make an effort to run everyday. Recently, I have picked tennis and soccer up again and have loved every bit of it. I grew up riding and teaching horseback riding, but unfortunately, I haven't been unable to pursue that hobby recently (horses are expensive).

I also love to read and write. It is my goal to give my subscribers the most accurate information out there by weeding out and combining the endless amount of information on the internet (don't worry - I'm good at this). My career in research and writing originally began with writing about national security issues, in particular, issues with the state and terrorism. Now I am attempting to further my career in a subsection of the health world by writing for It's All Health and studying for my CPT and Medical Terminology exam. On top of that, I am learning Spanish for a few different reasons. I plan to get my PhD in the year future, but I haven't figured out exactly what I want to study.
