It has been said that some people give excuses, some people give explanations and then there are those people who give results. I pride myself on being a proactive person who excels in delivering results that are not only positive, but results that everyone can be proud of!

Growing up, playing sports and attending practices and games was what I knew. I believe the movement of the body fuels one's mind and soul while leaving the body refreshed and yet, also ready for more. For the last several years, I spent my time outside of a full-time corporate job working as a Fitness Instructor because I have a deep love and passion for helping people in a way that will make them feel better inside and out. Filling my schedule by instructing classes before and after work and on the weekends is what I did for fun.

Deep down, I knew that fitness was where I was supposed to be. I took a chance on myself to change careers and dive fully into the fitness industry and it was the best decision I could have ever made. Like I often tell my members in class, we have to get uncomfortable and be okay with that feeling if we want to make a change. There were a lot of growth moments and a lot of being uncomfortable as I navigated myself through the last few years. I now work as a full-time fitness instructor, personal trainer and lead the Group Fitness Department at the Newport Beach location for Equinox. 

Through fitness, I found myself. I found my voice. I found confidence in who I am. Movement allows us to stand in our power. It's a beautiful thing when we discover what we are capable of.  I love being able to help others find their voice, confidence and hopefully their power to stand with the head a little bit higher.
