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 was born and raised on the northside of Milwaukee. My parents worked hard and taught me to aim high, so I took their advice. I’ve worked jobs that paid really well, and I thought that was what they meant by “aiming high”. Years later, I realized aiming high is being happy with doing what I love. I soon gave up the menial task that only catered to the fulfillment of my own wants that brought little satisfaction, and decided to make myself available to others based on what came natural to me.

in my free time I like to
Spend time with family! I enjoy relaxing and maybe grilling on the patio, or dining out, trying new restaurants and attending church activities! Biking and hiking has become a couple more favorites for me as well! I don't plan as much when it comes how we spend our time! I'm more sporadic, and the spontaneity always catch them off guard when I start the awkward family dance offs! Fun!
