I attended college on a basketball scholarship.  After graduating with a degree in English Literature, I attended and graduated from law school.  However, I realized before graduation that practicing law was not the right career choice for me.  At that time, I was religiously attending a bootcamp at my local gym, the Jewish Community Center.  The instructor and I bonded over our common knowledge and passion for fitness.  She encouraged me to investigate a career as a personal trainer and offered to serve as a mentor.  After shadowing her and team teaching for approximately 6 months, I registered for and passed my personal training certification through the Aerboics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA).  I was immediately offered a position at the very same gym where I used to take my mentor's classes!  Since that time, I have trained over 30 differently clients with an array of fitness levels and goals.  I have also received Primary Group Exercise instructor certification through AFAA and teach 5 hours of group exercise classes/week.
