Growing up I have always been active in sports. I’ve played baseball, basketball and volleyball. But it wasn’t until high school when I took weight lifting seriously. I’ve always had a passion for working out. During volleyball in high school, we actively did drills to better ourselves and make us stronger. But in college is where I found my true calling.

I ended up at Columbia College Chicago to pursue a career in dance. As I was dancing all day, I was also lifting. A trainer at a gym approached me and told me I should be a trainer so I went the route of NASM. From then, I’ve been NASM certified. During that time I received my Bachlor’s in dance from Columbia College Chicago.

Also while at Columbia, I took upon Yoga and Pilates for a 2 year course and excelled in the program. Once I had that under my belt, I was able to start teaching these classes.

As an all-around trainer, I make clients feel good about themselves, push them to their limits, make them feel comfortable about themselves and with me. I help clients achieve weight loss, balance, muscle gains, stability, etc. Its my goal to make the client feel good and happy knowing they can achieve their goals.

As my future approaches, I plan on going back to school for Physical Therapy. I feel with the knowledge I have, I would like to increase my horizons into aspects of health and fitness by incorporating rehabilitation along with training. It would better myself and better clients to have me help them in all areas.
