Background

Hey FAY! My name is Peppiina, most of my friends call me Pep! I was born in Finland but grew up in San Diego, CA. All of my relatives are still overseas and I still speak Finnish 😊 I got my degree in Nutrition/Dietetics at the University of Arizona and then moved to LA to work in sports medicine and on movie sets getting actors nutrition in line so they were ready for their roles.

When I was ready to leave adult Disneyland (LA lol) I moved to Nashville and started working at Noom when they were just a small startup. Since then I have worked in start ups, health tech and with YouTube companies.

In my free time I tend to be a social butterfly and love doing all the fun things that Nashville has to offer: live music, hiking, cooking, restaurant hopping, sporting events, coffee shops, and lounging at Soho House. I am also a nanny and dog sitter, it gives me my kid and dog fix until I have my own one day!

My favorite meals

• Mediterranean Food: I could eat a greek salad every day of my life (with blocks of feta!) And fresh seafood.
• Sourdough Bread: I get a fresh loaf almost every week from my local bakery and make all kinds of toast and sandwiches.
• Girl Dinner: The perfect meal - French fries, caesar salad and a dirty martini
• A loaded baked potato: I love having these on a Fall Sunday with football playing in the background.
• French Red Wine & charcuterie.

What I’ve been reading and learning about lately

• Psychology/mental health! So many books and podcasts I listen to on these topics with a focus on relationship dynamics (Sadia Khan, Esther Perel, Nicole LePera ).
• Music- I live in Music City and there are so many incredible artists that pass through town. I spend so much time going down rabbit holes learning about artists, their writing, and their creative process.
• Books- I like the the darker twisted stuff! Currently reading The Housemaid by Freida McFadden.

Get to know me a little better!
