Bio

I was introduced to the fitness world by complete luck. At 15 I was scheduled to take a P.E. Lifting class which at that time I didn’t know would change my life.
As a Senior I taught this same class as a Teaching Assistant to the underclassman. After high school I spent a few years learning and growing my versatility in a few different areas of fitness. During that time I was introduced to TRX receiving my first certification with them. In that same year I completed my Group Fitness Instructor Certification beginning my teaching career.
I continued to earn numerous certifications through TRX while continuing my strength training which has been my true passion that I continue to apply to my everyday routines.
What I enjoy most about teaching is the sense of community and support the members provide one another. They allow me to be a part of their lives helping them create a healthier lifestyle all while they help me grow as a person and instructor.
