I began my own fitness journey in 2012 at 193 pounds and 43% body fat. After successfully losing 40 pounds, I started to share my passion for fitness with friends and family. In the beginning of 2013, I started small group and one on one personal training out of my home gym. Later in the year, I partnered with a local wellness center to offer fitness boot camps twice a week to provide participants of all activity levels body weight training. I recieved my certification in personal training in May 2014, and I am actively preparing for my first NPC competition. I am also expanding my business to fitness retreats in the near future.
