My Training Philosophy:

  • I believe it is never too late to start your fitness and health journey. Having been an endurance racer who also has experienced long-term illness, I am passionate about working with all types of people who are either just getting started on their own journey, getting back after a break, or want to take their current fitness to the next level. I truly believe training can be fun and I love helping people find that confidence and love of fitness and being healthy.

Interests and Achievements:

  • I was chosen as an Athena Grant Recipient with Project Athena, a non-profit that helps survivors live their adventurous dreams. I spent 3 days biking and kayaking 120 miles through the Florida Keys with 30 other amazing people, and the experience changed my life. It is the main reason why I decided to become a personal trainer and why I am so motivated to support people at all stages of life and fitness.
  • I love being outside! Whether it is kayaking, hiking 14’ers, snowshoeing, biking, camping, and so on… you will likely find me enjoying the beauty of Colorado every weekend.
  • I was an Adventure Racer, Mountain Biker, and Runner (pre-hip replacement!) for many years and still love to be involved in both sports as a volunteer.
