    Credentials

    • Enrolled at UMASS Lowell in their doctorate degree in physical therapy
    • CPR/First Aid

    I was an active child growing up but it wasn't until high school that I was exposed to more structured fitness that included weight training. My coach’s husband was a certified personal trainer and thought it was important for our team to have a well-rounded training program for injury prevention and performance improvement. As a result, I learned how much I enjoy working out, and I developed an appreciation for the importance it has both on physical health and overall wellbeing. Currently, I am in my senior year at Umass Lowell finishing my degree in Exercise Science. I came to Fitness Together as an intern this past fall and began working part time once the internship concluded. I enjoy my time at Fitness Together and look forward to strengthening my experience and improving my ability to help clients achieve their goals!

    in my free time I like to
    Hang out with my friends and family, hike, read, and watch movies (especially Marvel movies!!).

    My passion for exercise originated from playing basketball starting in elementary all the way through high school, which sparked my interest in getting a degree in exercise science at Endicott College.

    in my free time I like to
    I enjoy coaching youth male and female basketball teams while helping the athletes achieve their potential both on and off the court. I also like taking my dog on long walks and keeping him active.
