I've always had a passion for fitness. I had spent my childhood playing sports, but found my favorite challenge later within the urban dance community. Dance unlocked my creativity and combined my loves of music and athleticism, and I was hooked. After dancing on professional companies through high school, college, and my first finance job, I found that my favorite hours of the week were in the gym and dance studio. I wanted to share the experience of being strong and expressive with others, and decided to pursue a career in fitness. After becoming certified with the National Personal Training Institute, I left the finance world and began my adventure as a coach, instructor and personal trainer ever since.

I am certified with NASM and NPTI, and have also worked as a Tier 3 Personal Trainer at Equinox. I am a NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist, am certified in pre/post-natal programming, and have over 15 years experience in strength training, flexibility, athletics, and injury prevention. In addition to training individuals, I instruct group classes, strength for dancers, youth groups, and have created and instructed several corporate wellness programs. I aim to inspire others to find their motivation and live their own fitness dream.
