IFBB PRO & CISSN
SPORTS NUTRITIONIST

Since I can remember, I've had a passion for learning and hard work in everything I do. I was never one to do anything halfway. I have an eagerness to learn all there is out there and I am relentless in its pursuit. While I am still a perfectionist at heart I understand the supreme value of failure and how your relentless pursuit of progress through failure will turn into some really wonderful life achievements. It is the evolving necessity of knowledge and journey through repetitive failures that I found myself hooked on bodybuilding. After some health struggles of my own in my late 20s, I used this passion for learning and hard work to turn my health around. I was relentless, reading everything I could get my hands on, trying new things and tracking everything. I still have the first nutrition and training plans I ever wrote, done in pencil - every macro and micro accounted for. It was an awesome time and I quickly learned not only did I love it, but I was good at it!

After trying to pursue both my full-time job in Veterinarian Practice Management and my passion for bodybuilding, I realized I had to make a choice. Eight years ago I finally took the leap and left my job to join the health and fitness industry. I had a very clear vision of what I wanted to create and a path to get there, and I was willing to work for it! I opened my first training studio out of my garage where it blossomed into a successful membership-only private studio. Over the years I have pursued a unique educational background in health and fitness certifications (CISSN & IFBB)and seminars and been privileged to be mentored by some very smart people.

Over nearly a decade now, I've been so fortunate to help a wide range of individuals with strength training and muscle building -  from special populations to those with a variety of injuries, to the young and middle-aged and those in pursuit of competitive careers. 

After several competitive years I also achieved a lifetime milestone of earning my professional status; becoming a professional bodybuilder in the International Federation of Bodybuilding.
