how I got my start in the fitness industry
Growing up as a competitive dancer, I've always loved and appreciated moving my body. After my time dancing came to a close, I struggled to find a way to continue to move in a way that brought me joy. The gym felt way too intimidating (I called it the "testoterzone") and I had no idea where to start. After years of trial and error and many highs and lows, I finally found a way to make fitness a sustainable part of my lifestyle that I look forward to. I loved how exercise transformed me physically and mentally so much that I became a Certified Personal Trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. I started my personal training career at Equinox and guiding women to feel their most confident selves and surpass their fitness goals has been my north star ever since.

outside of training, you'll find me...
