My Background:
I hold a degree in Exercise and Sport Science, NASM Certified, CPR/AED trained and I’ve spent the last decade leading group fitness and the past six years specializing in personal training.

My Personal Approach:
I specialize in strength training, HIIT, body recomposition, weight loss, injury prevention and building muscle. I have been able to work with up to 45 people in one class and able to give each individual their own personal experience. My resumé is backed by real-world results, experience, and a deep understanding of what it takes to create lasting change.

Why I Do What I Do:
I believe in more than just workouts. I’m your coach, your accountability partner, and your biggest supporter. My mission is to empower you with the tools, knowledge, and mindset to take control of your health, wellness, and lifestyle—for good.
