I was a competitive gymnast for 20 years and was inspired to coach after always being around and learning so much from my coaches.

I took control of my health years ago and lost 90 pounds, and fitness became crucial to my long-term success and my happiness. Time spent in the gym taking classes evolved into teaching classes such as cardio kickboxing, boot camp, HIIT/Tabata, strength training and total body strength. After earning my bachelor's in business and years in the corporate world, I switched gears to pursue my passion for fitness and wellness full-time. I am doing what I love!
