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.
