I believe living a healthy lifestyle begins with maintaining a positive mindset with moving. Fitness can and is fun but we need to overcome the negativity of the word "exercise". You can increase your quality of life through movement and have fun doing it too! My aim is to help you identify your fitness goals, design an exercise program that fits your needs, make it enjoyable so you're not hating every moment you workout, guide you through every exercise, and help you feel successful and happy after each workout. My holistic approach to fitness and health will have you feeling great and seeing results in no time. I've been passionate about exercise and sports for as long as I know. From running up slides during recess as a kid to competing as a collegiate Track & Field athlete. I quickly learned that my experience in physical activity throughout my entire life could empower others to achieve goals they never thought they could or even wanted!

​

I obtained my Masters Degree in Exercise & Sports Science at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas and my B.S. in Kinesiology at University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas. I am a certified through the National Strength and Conditioning Association as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (NSCA-CSCS) and a Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator (NSCA-TSAC-F).

​

Other certifications I keep up to date are my level 1 & 2 Kettlebell Instructor through StrongFirst (SFG-2), StrongFirst Bodyweight Instructor (SFB), StrongFirst Barbell Instructor (SFL), Functional Range Mobility Specialists (FRCms), and my Functional Movement Systems (FMS). All of which allows me to screen individuals for any movement illiteracy, recognize any movement patterns that need to be addressed, and ultimately be equipped to help people move adequately, effectively, without pain or discomfort, and increase their overall quality of life. 

Finally, I am also very passionate about Track & Field as I competed as a Decathlete at University of the Incarnate Word. I have my USATF Track & Field Level 1 Coach certification and really enjoy helping athletes become more efficient sprinters, jumpers, throwers, hurdlers, and any other events they may be working on mastering.
