Please share a bit of your
background and how it’s let up to
where you are in the fitness
industry today.
I grew up in a very active and fit
family! We were all involved in all
sorts of sports. My mother in
particular is the one who inspired
me to take the fitness route. She
started in 1997 when she entered
in the ESPN Miss America Fitness
Pageant. From there she competed
in the Iron Woman Tri-Fitness
Championships, the Fitness and
Figure divisions.
In high school I decided to dabble
in it myself. I competed in a few
local shows entering in the teen
figure division. It was then that I
realized I had a strong passion for
health and fitness. I became a
certified personal trainer at age
16. After that I started personal
training at local gyms and I taught
several different boot camps for
adults and children. I graduated
from Florida Atlantic University
with my degree in Exercise Science
and Health Promotion in 2013.
I am currently the Coordinator of
Healthy Living for the Peter Blum
YMCA and do private personal and
online training on the side.
Where do you typically workout, a
certain gym, any outdoor training?
I am always switching it up. I have
multiple gym memberships that I
hop around to. The constant
change in scenery keeps it
interesting and prevents me from
getting too comfortable. Sundays
are my fun-days!
I do something-active outdoors
every Sunday. Cycling around town
has been my activity of choice
lately. I am constantly distracted
by how beautiful it is here in
South Florida I don’t even realize
I’m burning calories (cont. pg. 14).
