I am from Cameroon. I moved to United States seven years ago through a basketball scholarship I had from Roane State. I fell in love with fitness my sophomore year in college. My coach was really big on weight training and she always took the time to explain to us the science behind the exercises we will do in the weight room. It was always fascinating to me because I could see those progress translating on the basketball field. I love training, connecting with people and understand their goals. My clients succeed because I am fun energetic and goal driven. I go above and beyond to make sure they reach all the goals they set.

in my free time I like to
I like to lift heavy weights and run a little bit. I also enjoy cooking meals and spend time with my friends. I seize every chance I get to always play a basketball game somewhere.

I am originally from Florida with a background in athletic training, sports medicine, and fitness, I’ve spent years helping individuals reach their peak performance. I hold a Master of Science in Athletic Training from Thomas Jefferson University and have worked with individuals at all levels, from college athletes to office workers. I'm currently a PhD candidate at Concordia University St. Paul, where my research focuses on neuromuscular performance enhancement and injury prevention. What I love most about being a Fitness Together trainer is the ability to create personalized programs that empower individuals to move, feel, and perform better. Whether it's helping someone recover from an injury, improve their endurance, or build functional strength, I’m passionate about guiding clients toward their fitness goals in a supportive and motivating environment. Fitness isn’t just about exercise, it’s about building a lifestyle that improves confidence, longevity, and overall well being.

in my free time I like to
Outside of training, I love spending time with family and friends, whether it’s sharing a meal, exploring new places, or watching sports. I enjoy anything that keeps me moving and outdoors such as CrossFit, hiking, and camping. I’m also passionate about continuous learning, whether it’s research for my PhD or finding new ways to improve health and performance. I enjoy watching anything martial arts related and baseball. I currently compete in local CrossFit competitions, and I enjoy any challenges along the way. My other hobbies include gaming, 3D animation, and art.

Growing up, I was always self-conscious about how skinny I was. I thought there was nothing I could do about it because, genetically, I am just a skinny person. I started strength training in college and it helped me build confidence in myself after I started noticing I was gaining some muscle. I realized that I have some degree of control over how my body could look and feel if I just kept working on it. I started teaching group fitness classes online during covid and when I graduated college I started training people in person. I have learned so much since I started in the fitness industry and met some amazing people. I love when clients tell me that they have noticed their own body changing and knowing that I helped them achieve that is extremely rewarding for me.

in my free time I like to
I love playing basketball, hiking with my fiancee and our dog, and just about any outdoor activity. My fiancee and I moved to Knoxville in August 2025 from the Pacific Northwest and we are so excited to continue exploring East Tennessee and the Smoky Mountains. I also love to watch sports and cheer on my favorite teams, the Seattle Mariners and Seattle Seahawks.

I am excited to have the opportunity to work with Fitness Together doing what I do best…helping you reach your health goals! Whether you want to lose weight or gain weight, change your body composition, or leverage nutrition to manage a condition like diabetes or high cholesterol, I am here for you. My style of nutrition coaching is centered around teaching you the skills needed to achieve your goals based on three foundations; evidence-based nutrition, increased physical activity, and changing behavioral patterns and negative self-talk. It is not a diet, rather, it is a systematic, sustainable way of eating that creates vibrant health and lasting lifestyle changes. Helping you learn new skills that incorporate healthy behaviors is my passion and I can’t wait to work with you! Before becoming an RD, I worked as an ACSM-certified personal trainer for over 10 years, so I can attest to the power of exercise and how effective it can be, especially when paired with good nutrition!

in my free time I like to
I love to cook and eat delicious food (my favorite food is peanut butter, especially when paired with dark chocolate.) As a matter of fact, I graduated from culinary school! I am an avid exerciser and enjoy weight training as well as cardio (I have run exactly one marathon). I enjoy being outdoors, and my favorite season is spring in Tennessee because I love all the flowers.
