After gaining more than just the Freshman Fifteen during my first year of college, I knew I had to make a major lifestyle change. In a year alone I had gone from a size 0 to a size 6 thanks to my habits of binge-eating Southern comfort food and my sedentary lifestyle. I had been a fierce athlete in high school, but did a 180 when college came around. There was a moment...in a department store dressing room where I was so unhappy with myself, that I knew I had to do something about it.

I started making a consciencious effort to eat better, and made it a priority to hit the gym every day. Sure, making the lifestyle change wasn't easy. There were lots of tears, frustrations, and self-doubt along the way. Never did I think I would be back to a size 0 ever, but as I grew to love my new lifestyle, my body started to change in ways I never imagined. Two years later, I was back to a size 0, but looked better than I did as a high schooler. I had muscle definition in places I never did before, and had never felt better in my life.

A passion was developed inside of me. A love for fitness and nutrition. Fitness was my release, my therapy, my positive body image booster. I got lost in the gym, and loved the people and environment around me. That is when I decided to make it a career.

Six years have passed since my first initial weight loss...and I have taken leaps and bounds in my own personal walk with fitness, as well as my fitness career. I teach 22 group fitness classes a week including: Boot Camps, Body Pump, Barre, Step Aerobics, and Kickboxing. I am an ACSM and AFAA Certified Personal Trainer, and LOVE what I do. I also compete in marathons and triathlons. Weight lifting is a huge part of my training, and love the way my body and muscles are always developing and changing.

If you are lost, and don't know where to start with your fitness...you have come to the right girl. There is nothing I enjoy more in life than to help others achieve their own fitness goals. Each day is so rewarding for me, and my hope is that I can help you achieve the same feeling.

Living a healthy lifestyle is not an easy process, I know that. However, through this website I hope that it may help you to develop a passion and motivation of your own!
