Fitness and health have always been apart of my life in some form or fashion. Growing up I played all kinds of sports. Whether it was softball, basketball, or volleyball, I enjoyed being active, being on a team, and letting my competitive side show. I ended up going to Florida State University for college, where I continued to play sports through intramural and on my sorority team.

I graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Family and Child Sciences and later obtained my Master’s degree in Family Therapy. I love to hike, bake, watch movies, and snuggle my pups!

Athletics, fitness, and nutrition have been a part of my life since I was a young kid. I grew up playing a variety of sports, but basketball was the one that stuck. My experience playing college basketball taught me the importance of work ethic and discipline and that now transfers over to coaching my clients. I love working with clients who are ready to work hard and commit to a goal!

When it comes to fitness in my life currently, I love to run (road and trail running), lift heavy weights, work on my mobility, hike, ski, and take my dogs for walks. I love to eat healthy. I track my macros most days and focus on keeping my protein up. I love to cook and bake and try new recipes! My favorite food is 🍕, so you better believe I find ways to incorporate that into my macros! 🙂

I have always enjoyed working out and physical activity, from college swimming, group fitness classes, weight training. My dedication to fitness has gotten me through the ups and downs of life, including breast cancer. At the age of 50, after leaving school counseling and a long time career as I counselor, I began to follow my passion in fitness as a personal trainer and swim coach.

Not one regret as it is never too late to begin a new career. From coaching both age group and adult swimmers to be better athletes, educating athletes the benefits of functional fitness in every day life, and pushing myself to continue to pursue new interests, like cycling. I love encouraging clients through the process of their personal fitness journey. Fitness is forever and we are never too old to begin to be active and fit.

My career in fitness has spanned over 12 years. As a Fitness Coach, I have helped countless people lose weight, run marathons, clean up their nutrition and even helped them touch their toes.

I played on an international roller derby team, competed in a figure competition, ran a marathon and also played college softball. I have been a vegetarian for over 15 years. This way of life has opened up my eyes and taste buds to unlimited flavors but has also taught me an important lesson about planning and coming up with different tactics to ensure the food I’m eating is supporting my health. I believe in viewing food as fuel and/or medicine for our bodies. Once you understand the impact healthy eating has on your health, the possibilities are endless and also tasty!
