I spent 10 years of my childhood in Texas, and as a child, I really didn’t like exercise. I would try to come up with any excuse I could to not participate during gym class, because my preferred way of living was behind a screen. I played volleyball and took dance classes, which I did enjoy but I was frequently looked over. However, I didn’t let that discourage me. In 2014, my family made the move from Texas to Wisconsin. At the time I was still struggling to appreciate exercise, juggling back and forth between doing too little and doing too much. In fact, it took me until about 4 years ago to truly realize why I didn’t like exercise. The issue was that I hadn’t found a method of exercise that I enjoyed yet. When I found weightlifting, my whole perception on working out changed. I actually wanted to show up to the gym everyday and set goals. Now, I’m so passionate about fitness that I want to help others find their favored form of fitness.

in my free time I like to
Work on self-care via methods such as journaling, reading, weight lifting, or listening to music. I also spend time with my family and friends, including my two corgis and my rabbit. I’m also very big into fashion, so I enjoy styling unique outfits (that I rarely end up wearing).

I’ve lived in Waukesha County my whole life, and I trained in martial arts for about 12 years, beginning when I was 8 years old. I earned the rank of third-degree black belt at the end of 2020. My love for overall fitness began during the intense training for my first degree black-belt, thanks to the remarkable instructors, one of whom is now a Hollywood Stunt Double, who believed in me and taught me to challenge myself. They inspired me to start assisting in karate classes, and I became a lead instructor for 5 years. I taught all age groups, but adults were my favorite. My passion for fitness and helping others transferred into my career when I began school to become a Registered Dietitian and added a minor in Exercise Science. I became a Certified Personal Trainer in June 2024, and I am so excited to make an impact and support clients at Fitness Together, with building a healthy lifestyle.

in my free time I like to
I am quite a busy gal, so when I am not working, I am likely working on school work, exercising, spending time with my family, volunteering in my community, or “arting something up” as my grandma likes to say.
