About me

About Me

My name is Victoria Brahe (rhymes with gray). My start in healthcare began as a Candy Striper at the age of 13, and little did I know my career path was set. After graduating from nursing school, I soon found my niche in critical care. I was certified in that specialty for 24 years and had a start in teaching as a nurse educator. In 2002 I obtained an MSN, and have been teaching courses online for about 19 years. Due to my passion for online learning, I went on to receive a PhD in Education with a specialization in Instructional Design for Online Learning. I am currently adjunct faculty teaching graduate research and theory online. I also work part-time for our county as an infectious disease case investigator.

There's more! Considering my commitment to helping others coupled with my nursing knowledge and interest in metabolic syndrome, I became a certified health coach, with a certification in metabolic syndrome. Because of my experience with online learning, I knew that I could help women with metabolic syndrome--even from a distance--live better lives.

My husband Carl and I live in the mountains southwest of Denver, Colorado at 9,300 feet elevation. We are on the edge of a 1,700-square-mile national forest, so my favorite pastime is taking our German Shepherd Hugo for hikes there.

I am also involved with some great community organizations. Mountain PeaceWorks provides the one domestic violence shelter in our county, and I volunteer on their crisis line every week. I volunteer with a group called the 285 Backpack Project. We stuff bags with food needy kids can take home on Fridays so they have some extra, easy to prepare food over the weekends. Also, Carl and I built and steward a Little Free Pantry for our neighborhood.
