Bio

I was an educator, simultaneous interpreter, beauty pageant queen, conference producer, TV host/event emcee, startup founder, crisis text line counselor, and many other roles. Then I realized that in order to go far in life and to do things that you dream of, you need to become stronger. So I started strength training, and then became a personal trainer 4 years ago to help more people invest in their physical fitness and health. One of my dreams is to travel the world. So far I've traveled to over 40 countries, and being stronger physically definitely makes the experience of traveling a lot better!

I'm passionate about

inpiring others to start investing in themselves and building a strong foundation to live a fulfulling life.

An idea worth spreading

You don't have to identify yourself or define what you are and aren't capable of, sometimes just being will lead you to amazing places you never imagined possible.
