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.

My passion for fitness started as a collegiate basketball player and led me to earn both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Exercise Science from East Tennessee State University. Since then, I've had the opportunity to work as a strength and conditioning coach at places like the University of Texas and the University of Georgia. I have worked in a number of different settings training anyone from Division I athletes & Olympians to also working with individuals recovering from cardiac events or managing chronic diseases. Those experiences taught me that every person is different, but everyone can benefit from a personalized, evidence-based approach. What I enjoy most about personal training is helping people build confidence, improve their health, and achieve goals they once thought were out of reach.

in my free time I like to
I enjoy lifting weights, playing basketball, reading, spending time with family & friends, and watching The Vols play on Saturdays.

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.
