I was born and raised in Northern California and I have two teenaged children. I have been a fitness professional for 10 years. It started when I was trying to heal from post partum. I decided to start running, as that was the only exercise I knew to do. I registered for a race that was 6 months away so I could train for it. Once that experience was over, I was hooked. I started road cycling and then hitting the gym. I am now certified in multiple things, have my own personal training business, and teach for a local gym.
