Fitness has always been a constant in my life. Growing up, I played a wide variety of sports, and by the time I was 10, I was running 5Ks and taking on mud races for fun. At 16, I traded team sports for weightlifting—and that’s when I truly fell in love with training. But my journey hasn’t been perfect. Somewhere along the way, I confused compassion for obsession, and both my physical and mental health began to suffer. Over time, through earning my ACSM personal training certification, coaching clients online for two years, working as a physical therapy aide for a year, teaching group fitness classes, and pursuing my bachelor’s degree in kinesiology, I’ve learned how to approach fitness through a healthier, more sustainable lens. My goal now is to help others find balance and strength—not by chasing perfection, but by building habits rooted in health, self-respect, and long-term progress.
