In 2014, I lost 43 pounds and became stronger and fitter than I'd ever been in my life.

Now I'm passionate about helping people like me move forward on their own journeys toward better health and well-being. I became an ACE Certified Personal Trainer in April 2017 and an ACE Certified Health Coach in November 2017.

I focus on my clients' unique needs, circumstances, and preferences and work with them to come up with a plan that makes them feel energized, joyful and proud of their progress, week after week.

I have a B.S. in biology and and a master's in language and literature. I'm a published author and have worked for many years as a professional editor and language teacher.

If you want a patient, supportive, knowledgeable person at your side as you seek to turn your health around, I'm ready to be your trainer and health coach! I look forward to meeting you.
