I was born and raised in Virginia, where my passion for fitness and wellness began. Over the years, I’ve traveled extensively throughout the United States, which has given me the opportunity to explore diverse cultures, fitness practices, and lifestyles. Along the way, I’ve absorbed valuable lessons that continue to shape my approach to both life and my work.

After graduating from the Virginia Military Institute, I moved forward into various aspects of life, all while maintaining a deep connection to my roots in discipline, structure, and perseverance. My personal fitness journey began at an early age, with a background in gymnastics as a child. During high school and some of college, I was also an active competitor in Cross Country and Track & Field, where I developed a strong foundation in endurance sports.

But my fitness journey didn't stop there. I’ve been practicing yoga for over 20 years, and it has become a cornerstone of my life, both physically and mentally. In 2021, I took my passion a step further and began teaching yoga and personal training, sharing the transformative power of this practice with others. Teaching has allowed me to combine my love for movement, mindfulness, and personal growth in a way that enriches my life and the lives of those around me.

I currently live in Michigan with my wonderful family. I’m the wife of Jeff and the proud mother of Salvatore and Giada. Family is at the heart of everything I do, and we are all actively involved in our local community, whether it’s through volunteer work, supporting local events, or simply being there for each other.

Outside of my fitness journey, I’m an avid reader, constantly exploring new ideas and expanding my knowledge. I’m also an athlete at heart and enjoy competing in 5Ks, constantly challenging myself and pushing my limits in a variety of physical activities.
