As a former collegiate football player and dedicated high school athlete, I pursued the dream of playing professionally with relentless drive and passion. But when a shoulder injury ended my college career, I faced one of the greatest challenges of my life—losing the identity I had built as an athlete. In that difficult transition, I battled self-doubt and uncertainty, but it was through this adversity that I discovered a deeper purpose: empowering others through fitness.

This led me to earn my Personal Training certification and Performance Enhancement Specialist credentials through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), along with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from DePaul University. While at DePaul, I focused heavily on functional strength training and holistic approaches to movement that support performance, balance, and long-term health. I also had the privilege of working alongside leading physical therapists in clinical settings, gaining valuable experience in corrective exercise strategies.

As a certified Sports Performance and Corrective Exercise Specialist, I bring both technical expertise and personal experience to every client interaction. Whether you're an athlete aiming to enhance performance or someone overcoming physical limitations, I tailor my coaching to your unique goals and capabilities. I’m passionate about creating lasting physical and mental change in the lives of those I work with—through movement, discipline, and a mindset built for growth.
