Susan Youngs
Member at Large
I am a native Texan born (in the 50s) and raised in Corpus Christi. I am an Aggie who started out Pre-vet and ended up BioMedical Sciences. I worked in Corporate America at a major chemical company for 30 years working my way up the ranks from a Technician to Functional Specialist/Functional Leader Chemist. During my working career, I dabbled in many side interests: I did catering for weddings, parties and a Passover Seder; I worked as a certified fitness instructor at local gyms in the 80s and 90s teaching aerobic classes; and did personal training out of my home. Wanting to combine my love of cooking with my personal training business, I went back to college earning a master’s degree in Health then PhD in Nutrition. I did nutritional consulting until my retirement in 2009, when I took classes to become a General Contractor to build my current house. I enjoy COOKING! and gardening and helping my neighbors and community with gardening needs. I found FitMix Communities on Zoom during the pandemic and LOVE the energy, positivity, sense of community and camaraderie of this group. I do all the online classes trying to hold my own against the “young’un” and have gotten stronger in many ways because of this organization!
