Reason Why You Became a Personal Trainer :

I have always loved to be active and strong. I know it is a natural antidepressant and I love to feel my best. I like to share this with others by helping to keep them motivated through all their stages of life. The process of working towards a physical goal is so impactful for other areas of growth in life as well. Becoming a trainer has enabled me to help others gain success in their physical goals, and daily lifestyle!

Fitness Interests & Hobbies :

I am an avid runner and triathlete. Becoming the strongest and most powerful athlete I can be has been my goal these past couple years. Today I compete in DekaStrong events which are decathlons that incorporate speed and strength. The training involved has broaden my abilities both physically and mentally. I am a mom to two boys who keep me on my toes daily and I enjoy designing/improving my home.
