Growing up in rural California, I have been active my whole life. From farm chores to sports, an adult passion for fitness was natural. My formal education includes a NS in Animal Science and a MS on Meat Science (yes, it is a real thing). After working in the corporate agriculture industry, I found myself lacking purpose and passion, so I did a career change to fitness. After receiving my ACSM Personal Trainer certification, I began working at a number of gyms - big boxes, small studios and specialty fitness brands. For the past 9 years I have taught group fitness classes, small group personal training and one-on-one clients. The purpose and passion that I struggled to find in the classic corporate job came easy when I switched to fitness. It’s how I’m able to wake up at 4am with a smile on my face!
