    About three years ago, I started going to the gym consistently because I was tired of how I looked and felt. Committing to fitness has completely transformed my life—both physically and mentally. I've always loved helping people, so becoming a fitness coach felt like a natural fit, and I haven’t looked back since. One of the most rewarding parts of this journey is seeing my clients light up as they make progress—whether it’s fat loss, muscle gain, or improved mobility. I’ve never been a 9-to-5 office type; I thrive on being active, connecting with others, and making fitness enjoyable. I'm currently working on earning my nutrition and corrective exercise certifications so I can continue growing and be the best trainer I can be.

    in my free time I like to
    I love playing basketball, drawing, playing guitar, and I’m currently learning how to speak Spanish. My guilty pleasure is, admittedly, watching Love Island.
