Mock Figure Competitor
My husband bought me a 6-months training package and that turned into 4 years of training and I have completed in 2 Mock Figure Competition Prep Programs. This journey solicited a change in so many ways, and I became stronger and healthier. The most important thing I realized is that I could complete any challenge.

Associate’s degree in Electromechanical Technology
I have always been passionate about the gym and have enjoyed both the physical and mental benefits of engaging in weightlifting. After achieving a personal goal of a 405-pound bench press, I started developing a sense of desire to train and teach others and got my personal trainer certification shortly after. I am open to working with everyone, from beginner to advanced. If you need help achieving your goals, I would be happy to help!

Bachelor in Rehabilitation Science (In progress)
I am pursuing a degree in Rehabilitation Science because I believe we all have a
responsibility to steward our health and understand our bodies. My goal is to become a physical therapist and eventually have a fitness facility. I believe the hardest part of any fitness journey is taking the first step, but with consistency, it becomes easier, more enjoyable, and incredibly rewarding.
