Fitness has always been a large part of my life. Starting early in various sports, then beginning my fitness leadership experience in college while teaching Adult Aerobics. I earned my bachelors degree in Recreational Therapy with a minor in Exercise Science. I had the pleasure of spending over a year training veterans in Honolulu Hawaii in a program called MOVE! As I transitioned around the country with a military spouse, I found my safe haven at the gym no matter where we moved. After settling in Raleigh, North Carolina and beginning a job as a recreational therapist in a mental health hospital, I again found my safe haven in Burn Boot Camp. After 8 months of being a member, I was hired on as a trainer and have never looked back. I absolutely love seeing others accomplish things they thought they never could. I love challenging others while keeping them in a safe environment, maintaining a hardworking but fun milieu, and watching the transformations both physically and mentally happen before my eyes.
