I have always had a passion in fitness as I began attending aerobics classes at the age of 16. I first began taking the classes to be healthy as most members do, until I realized it was more than just being healthy. One day my kick boxing instructor Diana approached me and asked why I was not certified in group fitness as she suggested I would be successful as an instructor. Thanks to Diana's encouragement and support that summer I became certified in Cardio Kickboxing and began teaching at my home gym immediately. My manager recognized my passion in fitness and asked if I would be interested in one-on-one personal training. I was so excited for this opportunity I asked how soon I could start.

I began teaching and training in 2009 and have not looked back since. Though fitness is not my full time job, it is the job I am most passionate about. I get no better satisfaction than when people tell me they were pushed hard by me and thank me for a great work out. I enjoy sharing with others the benefits of exercising and showing them ways to make it a part of their lifestyle rather than on obligation.
