People who know me well would probably say I'm funny, energetic, tough when I need to be, and brutally honest. I love pushing people past what they think they can do, helping them get out of their own head for a minute and actually see what they're capable of. I talk a lot during class — I tell stories, keep it light — because sometimes that's what gets you through the rep you want to quit on.
Funny enough, I never played a single sport growing up. I was a dancer. Don't ask me to catch a ball — I'm useless at it, and people are always shocked by that.
My why is personal. Fitness changed me in ways dance never did: physically, mentally, emotionally. I watched it help my mom reverse her diabetes, help my dad get his heart health back, and it healed my own heart condition too. That’s why I went back to school to actually learn the body, so I could help other people find what I found.
I'm honestly the shyest, most introverted person you'll meet — until we're together in a mat or cycle room. That space feels different. No judgment, just movement, music, and people showing up as themselves. I hope you'll come find that here too!
