Specialty: At a young age, I realized the importance of surrounding yourself with people who want to see you grow. When I started my strength training journey I came accustomed to the culture at the gym, which was filled with like-minded individuals who wanted to grow as well. Having the stability of positive reinforcement pushed me even when I failed, which was fuel to success. My goal is to empower those around me and help them achieve their highest potential. I am excited to achieve desired goals and help others gain confidence in their fitness journeys.
