Where there is an opportunity for coaching, she steps into the role to offer hope and motivation.

I've always had a passion for fitness. I love working with people to help them reach their fitness goals. What I like best about the fitness journey is seeing my clients change and improve! Seeing them get one step closer to a better version of themselves is what motivates me to be the best version of myself too!
When I’m not at the gym, I like to take some for myself. I enjoy walking around the nature preserves with my dog, Olive. Other times, I might go rock climbing or visit a plant nursery to see what new things they may have.

My passion for fitness was ignited in 2019, when I discovered how much I loved bicycle riding around White Rock Lake. What began as Saturday rides with friends turned into a workout routine of 3 to 4 bike rides a week, now surpassing the milestone of 10,000 miles on pavement & trails. Along with complementary weight training, walking, jogging, and weekly Yoga practice I can appreciate all the aspects of fitness from endurance, strength, balance and flexibility.
I can think of no pursuit more rewarding than to maintain this healthy lifestyle while sharing my passion for health and well-being with others through Personal Training here at the YMCA.

I was always involved in athletics - from age 5 to college, I was playing one sport or another. I’ve played just about every sport except Ice Hockey! I became a Personal Trainer to work with others who also have a love for being active as well as being there to support others who are wanting to start again or for the first time. My goal is for you to leave our sessions learning something new or feeling like you’ve accomplished something.

Mama bear on a mission to bring wellness and vitality to little cubs and fellow mamas 🌿🐻 Let's #nourishyoungminds #momsonamission #myYstory
I joined White Rock YMCA almost 10 years ago to socialize with other mom's and get workouts squeezed in between work and motherhood. After losing 82lbs, I realized I wanted to help other mothers navigate their health and weight. Also, I wanted to see my own children have more options for physical activity and I knew that the YMCA had programs to get involved with. Starting in 2024, I will be coaching school age children to move their body's to prepare for Athletics.
