I was born and raised in a small town in upstate New York, where I have spent my entire life. I was raised with strong family values and a deep respect for life. After the birth of my son in 2002, I needed to find a way to lose the weight that I had gained during pregnancy, and turned to fitness training. I was so appreciative to find something that accomplished that goal and it soon became my passion. I love my job! I enjoy working with people of different backgrounds and age groups and consider what I have chosen as a career, to be truly successful, because I have found something that I love and something that I feel is beneficial to those that I teach. While managing a Health Club is both challenging and rewarding, my passion lies with the fitness training, and I strive to continue to grow in this field. I consider myself to be a dedicated, motivated and professional trainer, and look forward to having the opportunity to showcase my talent wherever I go.
