My fitness journey began through navigating unexplained injuries during my student athlete years. Motherhood later revealed how few people truly understand how to use their body properly. Now, I dedicate my career to educating clients on essential muscle activation and precise movement techniques.

Fitness Journey
Personal Sports Experience
My athletic journey began in early childhood, exploring gymnastics and soccer before discovering a deep passion for swimming. I competed at the club level throughout my youth and continued into high school, where I also played water polo. However, a significant knee injury eventually moved me from the pool to the sidelines, where I served as a team manager through college. As an adult, I have embraced co-ed softball and cultivated a strong interest in power and Olympic lifting. Today, my training style prioritizes breaking personal records while ensuring my joints remain supple and mobile.
Youth Sports Experience
My extensive background in youth sports coaching grew alongside my journey through motherhood. I have guided young athletes in gymnastics from the toddler stage through pre-team competitive levels and led U10 soccer programs. My experience includes years of supporting little league and a deep specialization in swimming. I have taught everything from infant water safety and basic survival to club-level stroke refinement. Additionally, I am proud to work with children with special needs and adults of all skill levels.
Training History
I began my career at Fit Culture, a boutique studio that challenged me to develop creative, unconventional training methods for optimal results. During my time there, I specialized in plyometrics and functional movement. I later transitioned to South Yuba, where I led TRX and cross-training programs, refining my approach by blending machine-based foundational strength with dynamic mobility work. My journey continued at Training Zone, where I elevated my expertise by coaching advanced strength and conditioning. Here, I focused on mastering compound lifts and implementing high-intensity HIIT protocols.
