"The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspecss of their lives." This quote by William James has very quickly become one of my favorites. So many people live their lives defensively, accepting the external environment for how they see it. As soon as you learn to live in the moment, your attititude, your way of life, your opportunities, they all improve.

Now that I have aquired your attention I will give a brief backstory. After spending my whole childhood as a three sport athlete I transitioned to Minnesota State University, Mankato where there was no structured fitness, no team conditioning, only my biweekly rugby practice. I quickly found out that I needed to take my health into my own hands. The summer of my sophmore year I started to run, by the end of the year I learned to love it! I even went on to complete the Mankato Marathon.

After the big event I backed off from running and found where my true passion lies, swimming and weight lifting. With my growing love for nutrition and fitness I graduated with a bachelors in nutrition, followed by my personal training certification through ACSM.

After graduation I completed a health fitness internship at the Coors Brewery Wellness Center in Golden, CO then moved to the Twin Cities. I have now been working for the non-profit activity based mentoring program, Bolder Options, for the last year and a half as their Health & Wellness Coordinator. On top of my main job, I have been personal training and giving presentations on nutrition during my free time.

I truly enjoy my line of work and am currently accepting new clients who are interested in becoming the best version of themselves through whole body wellness.
