There is No I in FRST STRENGTH
Ever since I played sports as teenager the strength and conditioning component was always my favorite part. This is what lead to my passion for health and fitness, strength training being my specialty. In 2018,I graduated from Umass Amherst with a degree in Kinesiology to connect myself further with exercise. Gaining strength, power, and agility improving balance and core stability, reducing pain and preventing injury are all things I've done to reach my fitness goals. I will help you all of this and more, specific to your goals, and lifestyle so you can find the best version of you. I am a certified Personal Trainer through American College of Sports Medicine.

FRST STRENGTH
I’ve had an affinity for sports since I was a young child. I’ve played and coached soccer, basketball, softball and pickleball. I have also practiced martial arts for over 20 years and earned a 2nd degree Blackbelt in karate. So fitness and athletics have always been a big part of my life. In 2021, I joined FRST Strength as an athlete with the common goal of losing weight. FRST has brought me so much more than that. My physical appearance has changed, my mental health has improved, I have more energy, I’m the strongest I’ve ever been, I sleep better, my confidence has returned, and I’ve become part of an amazing community of athletes. Now, I have the honor of helping others on their personal fitness journey. I'm here every step of the way to support you, create a fun experience, and to provide you a platform toward reaching your fitness goals. I promise you won’t regret it! “Take care of your body, it’s the only place you have to live.” -Jim Rohn-

"A lot of athletes find their passion for strength training from previous or current sports. As a young teen I played basketball and soccer, but that isn’t what brought me into the gym. I simply just love to lift weights and to see the benefits it provides other than building muscle. Training with heavy weights has helped improve my sleep, boost my serotonin levels and overall just makes my body feel at its best. I also realized that exercising comes with so much more. It’s not just about lifting weights or running a few miles, it’s about showing up and putting yourself first. My love for strength training has made me realize that I want to guide, and bring more athletes into the gym and show them what they are capable of. This experience can be life changing. Whether it's gaining muscle, maintaining, or losing weight, even recovering from an injury, I want to be the trainer to support and help you achieve your goals. Since becoming a trainer, I’ve decided to compete as a natural athlete. I soon hope to help athletes with contest prep."
