MY COACHING STORY

Optimize your life

Fitness and Wellness have always been a passion of mine since I began my fitness journey at the young age of six.  As an outstanding Illinois athlete in track and volleyball as well as competing for the prestigious University of Texas at Austin Lady Longhorns track and field team, I earned many accolades during my years as an athlete. In 2009, I earned the title of NCAA National Champion. Upon graduating, I ran competitively as a NIKE athlete my entire professional career.  Competing as a World Class NIKE sprinter, specializing in the 100 meters and 200 meters, I was part of multiple USA Track and Field World Championship teams winning gold, silver and bronze medals.

In the fall of 2017, I retired from a successful Track and Field career and asked myself, “what do I do next.” I continued to train as I developed different fitness techniques to remain fit.  These techniques were so successful that family and friends began asking me to personally help them with their own fitness challenges.  This motivated me to turn my passion for fitness into a full-time career.

​

Since 2018, I have been working as an ACE Certified Personal Trainer specializing in on-on-one fitness training, group fitness training, fitness nutrition, functional aging movement training for active agers and mindful meditation. My training style is personalized depending on the individual and/or group needs.  Everyone person or group is different and has different needs.  I coach my clients in ways that best combine and develop the mind, the body and the spirit.  I coach strength and conditioning workouts.  I also offer nutritional and mindfulness tips, that when followed, can lead to a more overall healthy lifestyle. 

​

So why do I do this?  I want to see others at their best. This passion and love for other fuels my no excuse approach.  My mission is to deliver the accountability and motivation needed for my clients to reach their fitness goal(s), whether it be to lose weight, improve on becoming more active daily or to just get ready for that big wedding day. Seeing my clients feel confident and look amazing is why I continue to wake up every day. Nothing compares to the feeling of helping someone get healthy.

So, if you are willing and ready to invest 100% of your effort to get results, then I’m ready to help you reach your goal.
