About Me
All about empowerment & education through Intelligent training
MISSION: Empowering women (and men!) to find their strength.
I am passionate about helping athletes look and feel strong & athletic while keeping a healthy and positive mindset. I enlist a balanced approach of strength training and flexible nutrition. I strongly believe in empowerment through education and building confidence through training.
I'm what you might call a "quote-a-holic"--I love words and motivational quotes, and have collected them since I started sports at a young age.
I graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Sports Medicine and Nutrition in 2012, and I am finishing up my Masters in Applied Exercise Science: Strength & Conditioning. I am a lifelong learner, and you can scroll down to see a complete list of certifications and qualifications. If I'm not coaching or working on schoolwork, you will often find me with my nose in a book.
I hold 11 state records in powerlifting, where I currently compete at the national level, and I am a professional figure competitor. I have an additional background as a Division 1 track athlete and 15 years of competitive gymnastics experience. When I'm not training athletes or creating content, you can find me coaching youth gymnastics.
​
I love the outdoors, animals, and bubble baths. I am quite the introvert, but love connecting meaningfully with my clients and athletes.
