Great to meet you! After finding a healthy, balanced relationship with fitness in midlife I feel better in my 40s than I did in my 30s, or even in my 20s. My goal as your trainer is to help you find a way to make fitness a part of your life - not your entire life - and to achieve meaningful yet realistic goals. I'd be excited to get you started on a training program if you're new to fitness, and I'd also be thrilled to work with you if you're looking for a gender-affirming training program. Thanks so much, and I hope I'll get to train with you soon!

My favorite exercise

It might be the pull-up. They're challenging, but once you're finally able to get your chin past the bar for the first time you basically feel like a super hero. A close second might be the good old push-up, since you don't need any equipment and you can modify based on your needs and abilities.

My training philosophy

Fitness isn't about becoming someone else—it's about becoming more yourself. Whether your goal is performance, health, body composition, or gender affirmation, training should reflect your values and priorities, not someone else's expectations. My role is to provide the science, structure, and support that help you move toward the version of yourself that feels most authentic.

My training experience

I'm an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer with a background in leadership and coaching. Before entering fitness, I spent over a decade leading customer success and support teams, where my role centered on helping people develop, stay accountable, and succeed.
