As the Chief Innovative Officer of FMI, Biray leverages social media & technology to help devise a responsible, transparent, impactful, measurable company strategy.

Teaching health and fitness professionals how to effectively integrate fitness and interactive technologies together in their services, products, and education has become her passion.

She left her career in 'showbiz' to complete her master's degree in Exercise and Wellness from Arizona State University. There, she explored the combined effects of technology and entertainment media in their relation to behavior change and obtaining health benefits.
